Attachment: IMG_2002.jpg Attachment: IMG_2003.jpg It took about 3/8" of micro, after this it was covered with a bid of fiberglass to stabilize it so it won't crack under the paint from pressurization cycles. Quote: That must have been a ton of work but it sounds like it is worth the effort. I assume the red plane is a guy that did the mod after paint so he's stuck with a big gap? Yeah, that's the test plane. He's stuck with that until it gets the bodywork and paint that have been done to all the others with the mod.

That looks like y’all had to use a 5 gallon bucket of elbow grease. I bet the paint job is going to be gorgeous.

Hey Dave, That’s some good looking work! I could’ve used your help on the Ranchero! Attachment: 472E5231-2704-4D49-80C3-76EF29CFF483.jpeg Best regards, Jim

What's going on with the airplane in the background? Re-trimming the horizontal?

This is how it's supposed to work, as we did it in the factory build shop. First, use the factory jigs to line everything up and superglue it in place: Attachment: DSCF0805.JPG Then put on these carbon brackets Attachment: DSCF0923.JPG and bond them in. Attachment: DSCF0933.JPG Finally, wrap the entire join in another layer of carbon. Attachment: DSCF1035.JPG The other shop was far away, so working without the factory jigs, and for whatever reason skipped that final wrap, leaving the tail wobbly enough that pilots noticed it. Scary to think they flew it that way! (The shop also used an elevator pushrod that was much thinner than the beefy one provided in the kit; perhaps that was so if you pulled too hard the pushrod would fail before the tail came loose!) My shop had to sand down to the brackets and do it right. They have to sand and repaint it all anyway, the micro was so thick in places it was already cracking after just 75 hours. The squawk list on that airplane was many pages long. The other shop is deceased now, we inherited another project from them as well, only half-finished. It has the same flaws.

GB Holy crap!! Look at that air filter Do people not realize when they are choking a motor?? We had a race car on the dyno a few years ago and noticed the K&N filter was collapsing ever so slightly under a hard pull. We removed the air filter and immediately saw a 50 HP jump on the dyno screen!! Dont choke your motor!

I'm guessing those are just there for ground runs.

In my previous photos, you guys spotted the tail of the plane in back but you missed the big reveal: Evolutions have never had inner gear doors. Until now. Attachment: IMG_1991.jpg Attachment: IMG_1992.jpg Changing the hydraulic system to mimic that of the Legacy allowed us to copy the Legacy's inner door system as well. We'll do back-to-back testing but we're hoping for quieter and worth a few knots.

When the hubcaps were developed for the 421, it was amazing to witness the improvement in climb performance up high at lower IAS and higher AOA. That disruption seemed to blanket the wing aft of the wheel with turbulent air and resulted in a significant loss of lift.
