You might want to check to make sure that the reinforcing angles were installed along with your channel. Mine were not, nor were they included in my parts list - but TAF said they needed to be installed.

Well, I think I figured out that I have a franken-config regarding the seats. Fortunately, I have yet to sink the rivets, but my cleco-ing has been an interesting process. I believe I have: 1 Two seat bottoms and backs that are old style 2 One custom made seat bottom and rails of the new style to ge...

Is there a setting that I need for Dropbox to ensure that I am seeing any new files that are being posted? For instance, my Canopy Kit KAI on Dropbox says it was updated on 3/6/2020. Is that correct?

I have a rudder pedals mounting channel - mine was installed in the QB, but I got one as a part.

I ended up putting the stops in a vise and bending the ears back a bit on both stops. They now clear the center supports and yet still grab the other stop.

The build center in Torrance says to use 4.8 x 15mm instead (RIV-165). On page E 2.5 of the Empennage 2018/11/15 build manual - Step 11 - The Gu...

The picture that the technical team replied in your post shows that all 8 holes should be riveted. Yes, maybe so, but when I received my quickbuild from the factory, they had dimpled one of my five inspection plates and they had only dimpled 6 of the holes. Regardless of their diagrams (often incor...
