Tex,  

   

Very nice Looks familiar seems to me you have got a few others painted the same!  

   

We just printed a picture and taped it to the over head at the forums today. WX is not good but have 9 Lightnings here and lots of walk-ins.   

   

See you next year..  

   

PS flew the great Planes Eagle 580 last night on the ramp. you will have to bring some to fly next year.

Hi Tex.



That is a work of art, congratulations.

I notice your retractable sunshade, is that completely home grown or an adaption of something commercial?  I prefer that idea to the painted out canopy and I've seen similar things in some commercial builds but I haven't found a source yet.



I'm just beginning paint, otherwise most else is done.

Thanks Tex.  Just goes to show Google doesn't always get it right!  "Sunshade" and variants did not turn up anything useful but, sure enough, its on the Vans RV accessories list.  "Koger sunshade" finds it in other places as well.

Very pretty aircraft, is it a Latte?

  

 I'm just mounting my Lightning Spats on the main gear of my Esqual,  what's the recommended height of the bottom of the spat and the ground? (ground  clearance....)

  

 Ta, Clive

 Red and white Esqual (strawberry split?)

I have been told that the less the tire shows the  less drag. But I let the air out of the tire and see how low it goes so when you  get a flat the pant dont touch the ground.  Tex
