Weeelllll,,,,I got some expensive education in building and flying Perky. Now I'm almost ready for Lesson 2.
Two conflicting slogans:
"Do it right the first time", and "Practice makes perfect".
I got one good time on the first pass, then increased the power and got into a disasterous control issue.
The second pass was a hurry-up job aimed at getting the airplane to fly before the snow does.
I resolved the bellcrank/gastank conflict by having the bellcrank indoors and letting the fuel tank show a little bit.
It's just silver paint, not a real mag pan. The bellcrank bolt fixes the top & bottom.
