Captainphx's build

[Delta Whisky]

Regarding the heat/AC - I put in a LG minisplit and have not looked back.

Paul,

congratulations on your purchase - nice combo! I am interested if John gave yu any indicative cruise figures for the Sti and 915 combo?? I have been waiting with interest to hear about all the performance figures they have been getting with the factory model.

Anyway, welcome to the forum - I benefited from the wisdom and generosity of the people on here throughout my build and I know will also. Looking forward to your reports.

cheers

Welcome Paul!

I have yet to officially introduce myself here, however it sounds like my wife and I are right behind you with our STi build scheduled for mid March delivery! Most of our build will be done in our two car garage and later move into the hanger for final assembly. It sounds like we will have very similar builds so I look forward to piking your brain along the way, Good luck!

Cool, we'll keep in touch!

Looking good Paul. No shortage of Man crap in that place. Buggy, Motorcycle, Truck, Cabover Camper and an airplane project. Except the motorcycle, I have been browsing the internet for the truck, Cabover, and Razor myself. I had a motorcycle but I was going to get killed on our California highways. I split traffic far too long here and figured before my luck ran out I sold it. Guess I now know I need to make a stop in Cave Creek when I fly in to Scottsdale to visit my best friend. Need to see that Green in person!. Have fun with the build.

Hey Eddie,

Yes that lane splitting will get you. If you're interested in knowing about the Four Wheel Camper, PM me. They are great campers. Stop by anytime!

Has anyone used/made a fuselage rotisserie that let you keep the HS attached or should it be removed?

Paul, make absolutely sure that left side plastic bearing block is installed and bolted to final torque before you decide if you have too much or too little clearance. Tightening the bolts makes a very definite difference. Fitting it up on the bench with hand tight bolts is not the way to evaluate clearance. Maybe you already know this, but just a reminder.

John said about a 120 mph cruise.
