Hey Guys,
I am new to the forum, and I just bought a firebolt that is pretty far along. The guy I bought it from wasn't really an experienced builder, and neither am I. I do however fly for a living and understand airplanes pretty well. I also have the help of a friend who has built/rebuilt numerous airplanes and has even won grand champion at Oshkosh, so I have the help I need.
Does anyone know a guy in Florida named Jeffery Trumbell? I was told he was the person who started this project, and may have a few more parts for the plane... I struts, flying wires and things like that. Please let me know if he visits this forum and what his username might be.
I have bought the Skybolt manual on this sight and I think its extremely informative. With the Firebolt fuse being slightly longer, do I need to purchase a set of Firebolt plans? or should skybolt plans work?
The fuse is built, flight controls, wings, and a lot of metal work done as well as a lot of other things. Wings are not mounted yet, so not sure if I can use the firebolt plans for the correct information on mounting the wings.
Thanks in advance.
