Re: bewarned before you buy!!!

Re: bewarned before you buy!!!

J ,thanks for the pics. I found only 2 references and marginally at that, one in the plans and one in the construction manual and it looks to me like both the brs/engine bracket and the longeron lies ontop of the bottom lip of that channel/brace/stiffner.

bewarned before you buy!!!

They should not let this guy close to workshop door or maby I should stay away from buying, anything at all....!! It arrived looking like this, and I could not contain my excitement. IM...

Tell a bit about the history of the aeri, also about the undercarrige mod, i think the wider higer stance looks just...
