Re: Oshkosh 2024

Hi Steve-
I hope your build is going well. Keep me posted!
The wife and I took the motorhome to Osh on Sunday, headed home on Friday.
We had a blast camping at Scholler. Wish I had known you were there.

Re: Engine Cowl

Steve-

I looked for our conversation via text. It is totally missing from my phone. I have some thoughts on your last text to me. Please text/call when you can.

Wheeler CT

I have decided 3 planes are just not working for me. So my CT is for sale! It is ready to fly, and has been for a while. I just haven't had the 2 or 3 days to complete final prep.

Louis and Erik-

Thanks for your help as well.

Re: W&B

First I'd like to thank Mr. Guapo Jr and Mr Chisolm. They both have taken time to help. Junior' Express CT #'s look very close to my numbers. I won't post them here, because he shared them with me and I haven't asked permission. N185WE IO-540 C4B5 Using FS-0 at the tip of my spinner. (The original b...

Re: W&B

Guapo-

It would be great to chat with you about your plane. I haven't flown a Wheeler, so any info you could pass on would help.

I will try to call you on Sat. the 2nd.

Thanks

Re: W&B

It would be great to talk to your guy about the W&B for my plane. I have had several conversations about the issue, but no one who knows Express CT's.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Express Kit For Sale

Thanks for the comments guys! Mine is on the FG gear and ready to fly. I'm just struggling with the CG. One place I found says there's 11" of range, another says 9". Then I see the CAFE report on N360EZ from Feb 1998, it displayed a very short 5-3/4" CG range of 76.25-82". It' em...

Re: Express Kit For Sale

Yea I talked to Grove, they said I had to go through the express guy. Talked to him before he sold out. I think he had one, maybe two sets of Aluminum
gear for my CT. 3400 plus shipping from the west coast. Ouch.....

I wonder where those gear sets are now.

Good luck on the sale of your plane.
