Hi all,
I'm a new builder starting out on an S1-S. To give you an idea of where I'm at I'm currently working on lower wing ribs, and have just finished off the lower spars.
Before actually assembling the wings, though, I'd like to have all the parts on hand. I'd like to build as much as possible (but thinking I'll let a professional do the fuse welding), but from what I've seen most people buy the bellcrank/idler etc assemblys. Is this a fair call? I'm happy enough with my welding to try fabricate them myself - and having a fitter and turner for a brother doesn't hurt.
What's the genreal opinion on fabricating these mission-critical parts vs buying them?
