Can i really do this? Are amateur-built aircraft safe? Are there any restrictions on the use of my aircraft? How much will it cost to build? Can I fly IFR in a homebuilt? How much
room do I need to build?
Questions over questions. Nevertheless I accecpted the challenge and started building my own airplane. Let's follow my build and stay in contact as a huge aviation community.
BTW: If you are looking for answers to my top questions - here you go!
Mounting the vetterman exhaust was easier than expected. On the right side, the parts were a bit stubborn, but with some light tapping with a rawhide hammer, and application of mouse milk they decided to behave. On the right side the parts fit perfectly but the exhaust hanger bracket was a bit trickier, due to close proximity to the oil cooler. Like everything, we figured it out eventually.
I got a dock for my plane for my birthday :-)
It will make entry and exit into the cockpit much easier for the upcoming avionics installation.
