Hi all, the inevitable has finally happened and my VR 880 is in need of a rebuild. As it isn't in production any longer, I'm looking forward to the challenge of getting it back into the air. Can't say how long it will take me but there isn't really any rush.
I produced a very useful mock-up using plywood and am expecting version #2 to be handed back tomorrow from a friend who's been helping out with the cutting/drilling in his workshop. Next phase is to mount all the electronics in their new location and to scope out the wiring runs before creating the CAD drawing for the new CF frames.
I've maximised the use of standard parts up to now and the SAB 700 RAW has been very good as a source. I'm expecting delivery of the new landing gear tomorrow so I can exercise the little grey cells on how to best join the top and bottom bits.
Up to now, I'm still in credit on the payout from my insurance company of just over $3,000 having paid out around $1,000 to my main supplier Hugo (
