It was still too heavy. Don't really see a market for it myself but I would have liked to have flown it.

A wonderful level of simplicity. I like it and would like to fly it, but I don't see the market if it's not LSA.

I really hope the feds expand LSA to include airplanes like our Maules and/or do away with the third class medical.

Sad news, the only M-4-100 in the world is getting disassembled.....by me :(

It was never certified thus still in the research and development stage. (Production number) PN# 2407, SN#54001C, N5505C

All that is is clear silicone applied directly to the meeting place :D

Same with all the windows. We apply silicone between the windows and the frames then after assembly, we mask off the frames and window leaving about an 1/8" area for the application. The bottom of the windshield does not get silicon and only gets duct tape. The sides of the windshield gets silicone then duct tape then the metal strip....same with the top strip as seen in the photo you commented on.

Hope that helps, if not call me on my cell during working hours 229-415-2820....if I am not head first inside the rear of a fuselage...I should answer!!!

MM thanks! Will work on it next and will call if I have issues, assuming it is just regular silicone from car shop or lowes type?
