We finished rigging and covering the horizontal a couple days ago. Weather has been crappy, so I left it in the heat to cure for a couple days. Tomorrow looks like my reentry into flight as I hope to get it back on and flying, hopefully.

I will say covering was a little harder than the first time because I had done the rest of the plane first and the hard parts last, this is one of the hard parts. Oh well, I think it will fly with a wrinkle or two on the end.....

Hang in there Harlan, 20 years from now you'll look back and think nothing of this character building experience. BTW, it is looking good.

I just hope I can look back in twenty years Darrel !!
Flew the last two days so all is good again on the farm fox.

One-week, last Friday, after getting my new stabilizer Farmfox is back where it belongs! I have about 5 hours on the new tail, and all is well.

Have you heard anything from the factory on why your stabilizer fractured?

I have sent the broken piece in and they have analyzed it. John is going to make a post on it coming soon.

It won't be long now....

Hot dang Harlan!

Farmfox is going from STOL to VTOL! Did you recieve a different engine from Rotax after the case hardness test?

Are you keeping the same propeller setup on it as well?

Cant wait to see this!

I guess I'm confused, which engine failed the hardness test, the 915?
