...remember, life is uncertain, eat desert first!
... and, those that pound their guns into plows, will plow for those who don't.
At this rate I expect to see it in Tennessee.
I like the hidden antenna

He he he, you've all seen the inside of my grandpappy's garage.
It's a RANS with a bunch of weird filters applied to it (if you're into Photoshop metaphors).
I'm going to put one of them cold seizing snowmobile engines in it if i can find the money.

I hope he lightens up that heavy looking angle on the sides of the baggage bay with LOTS of lightning holes, a Uni-bit works great there. Being totally anal about weight pays off, grams add up to ozs., to lbs, etc. And he BETTER have John Roberts gear on that thing or he will never hear the end of it!
Damn, that makes me want to start on my third S-7/S....

I noticed the plastic base for the antenna. That installation will only be half an antenna. Run a conductive strap from the base of the antenna over to the structural tubing. You will get noticeably greater range on transmit I think. Google "antenna ground plane"---
Looking forward to more videos from the new bird!!! Best of luck

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.
Believe it or not that antenna is supposed to not be grounded. My buddy Joel swears by them, so i thought I'd give them a shot. You can buy them from Leading Edge I think, or possible Joel Milloway in Blackfoot, ID.
I talked to your gear man about his legs and I want something a little more swept forward so i'm probably going to have to do it myself. I should stop in again and try to talk to you Courierman, or you could come here for our fly-in and put those speed-holes in the angle for me yourself!
Jomac, I'll put 160 horses on this if you come weld me some extra supports and an engine mount! Hurry though, i'm about to put the firewall on.
