dust Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well we are now done with the wing building stuff and for that matter all of the stuff needed through chap 19. All bulkhead templets - allows for oversize construction and quick trimming to exact size. We have rotisserie - great for fuselage until nose is attached. Allows rotating and locking into position at any point from right side up to upside down and anywhere in between. Canard cutting templates Wing cutting templets Wing assembly jig with 12 foot spacers, really makes wing positioning and leveling easy. Main spar jig, because of my furniture hobby, way overbuilt, and worth every minute I spent on it Located north of detroit. Please only active builders - no sense letting them just collect dust in someone's garage without use.

schaumr Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hey Mike! I'm about an hour away from you in Ann Arbor! Haven't started building yet (two almost-finished wood strip kayaks are presently sitting in the spot the plane should be in!) so I can't be considered an active builder yet. If you don't get any responses from active builders in this area, let me know before you feel you have to do something drastic! I'm looking to start in the spring, after I get the garage set up, but I'll make room for your stuff if you need to get rid of it. By the way...would you mind a visit from a nosy (read COZY) neighbor? I'd love to see a work-in-progress!

Neal Johnson Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I have completed the canard, CS spar an am working on the wings. Saved the fuselage for last. I would be interested in your rotisserie for the fuselage and elevator jigs if you still have them. Unfortunately, I am on the other end of the country from Detroit. Lafayette, LA. Please let me know if you still have these things left. ngjlawm@bellsouth.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Stauffenberg Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Dust; If you still have the set-ups, I would be happy to take them off your hands. Please let me know. Hank #1063 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dust Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Going going gone Hank just stopped by and he now has every jig, fixture and templet from chap 4 to chap 20, pretty well filled up the back of his truck, I hope he uses them in good health and completes his bird. We also enjoyed his day at the labor camp, he helped us glass the last upper and lower wiglets, install antennas etc. It was great timing as the next few months will be filled with the more mundane aspects of fitting ailerons, attaching upper and lower winglets to wings, etc. etc. etc., not near as much fun as dumping on thin micro, pouring epoxy and laying up sheets of glass. enjoy Mike Quote maker wood dust and shavings - foam and fiberglass dust and one day a cozy will pop out, enjoying the build i can be reached at http://www.canardcommunity.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hello glad to hear that you're getting rid of some Long EZ stuff. Any chance of getting some templates that you might have laying around? I loaned mine out to another builder and never seen them since. He says that he didn't think that I would want them and sold them with his project that he tired of.
