• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Real life workload has been slowing me down a lot recently...but I got some good progress today. All control surfaces are now in & animated, and I got the cowl modified to be correct for the Rotax engine.

The Thorp is definitely alive. I hit a point on that project where I needed to take a break. :icon_lol:
The fun part is that the nuts & bolts that I have on the Quickie are refinements of the ones I used from the Thorp, and I will be re-working the old Thorp fasteners with these (and they have washers!) :jump:
 
Many thanks for the kind words :wavey:

I bolted up the tail wheel assembly today. I had the Thorp bits in as a possibility, but decided to go with the real thing. This is about as real as I can get according to the plans :d

Screws and bolts, could be a typical screenshot from ProEngineer. :d

Awesome detailing, Robert!
 
This week I worked on mapping exterior surfaces, and started adding some more interior stuff...cushions & harness :d

Never seen such fine details, however don't become to much of a perfectionist and getting tired of making all these details. We want to fly them...:applause::ernae:
