My quick build wings shipped from Durban 25 March 2022. Its interesting to track the container ship. And frustrating to see how much time is lost waiting for a dock and time in port. Route Durban – Cape Town – Santa Cruz (Tenerife) – London Gateway Port.

Quite tricky and time-consuming to get it right. 3 days. Decided to go with Camlocks all-around rather than Camlocks plus 4 Dzus fasteners in the lower cowling that the kit has. Some rework of fibreglass is needed. KAI is a bit unclear about exactly how many Camlocks to use on the horizontal seam. Looking at completed Slings some have 4 some have 5. I went with 5. Used a spacer at the prop hub to get the cowling in right place. Even so great care is needed in the trimming, to be sure it ends up in the right place. 3D printed a template for drilling the holes.
