Closing off this question. I did some more asking around. People who went with the AkzoNobel primer tended to do it with 2 gallons total and since its a 2 part system that means 1 gallon of each part. Now, that milage varies slightly depending on how much waste you have, but people who used more tha...

With Beringer wheels and brakes now an option, is there still rework required to the axle mount holes on the main gear legs or is this corrected at the factory when you select the kit option? Does that also include the correct axle shims?

SimpleGreen is just a parts degrease / wash that cleans the surface, removes the factory ink stamping and other dirt. Parts prep is usually something like scuff / lightly sand, wash down with Simplegreen, rinse with water, dry, then prekote and then prime. @brian - thank you as well. I've considered...

agreed. I am likely to order with the option and proceed from there.

I'll preference this by saying I have no idea, but I have this idea. I have read a lot about Center of Gravity Weight issues especially with parachute options installed. It made me wonder about ways to increase the forward weight without taking up space. So, the question - Rivets... Stainless are st...

Question for everyone... What's the best practice for Garage Builds? I have a 2.5 car garage, length is a bit short ~20ft and garage door is 7ft. How much space can I anticipate the full kit (minus engine and avionics) to occupy? How far can I get on a Sling TSI build at home before I run into troub...
