Just thought I would post a picture of my Thorp and the GPS. I had a push but still excellent numbers on this trip.

This should be a fun thread. Here is my submission. I just happened to snap this pic last week. Admittedly, I had a push too..... Attachment: gps.jpeg [ 1.16 MiB | Viewed 9372 times ] |

I'm curious about that wing, is there any dihedral? Is it basically the same T or S-18 wing but one piece? Just curious to se how that was done. Thanks, MG |

There is dihedral. The airplane came with a large case of engineering drawings for the changes. It's powered by a 160hp 0-320 and CS Hartzell. 44 gallons of fuel in the wings, no header tank. I added an auto pilot with altitude hold. |

Was that airplane the one set up for a right side pilot? Can you compare it to a standard T-18? I looks really nice, would love to hear more about it. Dave |

Yes, there are changes that would be interesting knowing how they were done. It looks like the leading edge is the T-18 profile, is the wing span increased from standard? About whats the stall speed. Sorry to bomb you with questions. MG |

N7199 has a ram air setup, electric aileron trim and wingtip filler necks for the fuel tanks. We also had a fuel totalizer and better cabin heat installed. Empty weight is 1063.
