206 that's seattle wa

i love it when" some" want to fix the cozy. and i hope good luck with that. i was in Steve rights plane with wider gear and set back gear, on landing he warned me about the" plop" i was in jacks 1o- 540 and he told me about the "plop" (bang). both planes are very close to stock (with in 4"). your mite be 15" back(guess) iir. you will need to buy lots of struts for the front (one per landing) that spar in 1/2 urethane where you want to bolt to. in. gear has a 25 bid plate ( 12" by 6" ) iir. but its horizontal, yours is flat, not the same. my point is, a hard landing with your concept will have fuel departing the plane and cost a 3000 to repair the stock way would be 500 and 3 days work. most big mods will take over a year and be untested

i use the West pumps. for the most part they are fine, just very slow. when i need a big mix i pull out the pumps and wight it by the cup full. if the ratio is the same i see no problem's with the switch from MSG-to-west pumps. so many mixing jobs are under a pint (1000) the Little pumps way out do the scale, i used the scales for 2/3rd of the build. Don't listen to tom, we saw him tip the ups driver a fin the other day

thats easy steve, look in the strake chapter,iir its step # 102 uni croxed

i cant find were is saids to fill in the gap between the strake and wing. can some one point plz

did you re calculate the lift ? fir is for props not longs. what were you thinking ? and did you paint them blue? heat is a big no no. next your going to use curtain liner for peel..........shamless

in the high end paint they have a chrome, it looks just like a mirror.paint over the offending ?

i cant think of a better way to involve the kids than to have them help me with a top secret knock off for a test for daddy's plane !it would of coarse include a balsa dime store wood plane.......ext,ext,ext. (insert story board here) mine mite go like this....daddys plane cant fly till it has a loopdy-loop test done with this little wood plane....ext,ext or how about the BRS testing (army man/parachute) the water gun leak check paint scheme by johny....(water colors,big paint easel set up in side of shop) FAA child testing board, a must. one, must be able to pass the marble rolling down the wing test....est est two, how many bubbles will fit in side the canopy (with a fan turned on) blue foam......and Kidd's, lots to do there ! 15 Min's a plane day would make a builder out of any kid (even us)

welcome, sorry to here about your flu. take 2 M drawings and get lots of sleep over the next 3-10 years

never discard old layups, there are so many things you will do with them its fun to cut up chunks for your friends to try to brake them:p sanding blocks.

i think the builder of johns plane was changed for the that resin, and to this date i don't think the valve ever leaked in the cabin all thou it did kill him.there is lots of pros and cons for that move, read for a day and you'll go with the plans way

on the bulk heads, imo you should peel ply the 2" sides and bottoms.plastic and peel ply need/holed in a lot of epoxy, and Burt knows that. so he has you peel ply only the parts he knows you will bond to other parts. all to often i look at the final part and think the peel looks better so i peel the hole part:( remember, you do not want the glass full of epoxy, just the fiber. i use the plastic to wet out the glass,then cut to shape, then place over the part,squeegee the air out, remove the plastic and input peel as needed(and in most cases you'll need to add epoxy just to get the peel to stick. the way you stated you did yours sounds like they were light and not over done:cool: next try tin foil for that crappy little layup behind the ip and the lower layup on the upper forward longeron(o wait, that one in in 2012).

thaks steve, and yes it has been nice. (but i miss my dog ) and my build.

i have not seen my plane for a single day this year !

this is my month in sunny California, last week I'll be mailed home on the 4th.

i found it invaluable to scan my book/M's for a drawing of a part, then spray glue it right to the front of my material.ie 2021 AL then cut t shape.the cool part is i never had to cut the book/M's drawings.

i walked in to the store and got 10ybid,10yuni and it was kinda long and kinda heavy, so i mailed it home, hope it beets me there......lol

it took me 1 hour to make the layup for the hard points then as it was dryingi did the bulkhead ruff layup, the next day i cut the bulk head to shape and added in the hard points and subsequent layups.......i think it was all did in a weekend but if you read it different some where I'll Dennie this post ever happened !

i just got the full size M's for a cozy 4, and for the most part dont need them(out side of pinning them up on the wall). you are welcome to come by and see them.

yes and no, there is a kink because the jigs are flawed and there is no way to check for this delema befor/during/and after the skins are place.there is also some blame placed on the hot wire templets. some say its the way they are. i have a set for jig templets sent to me and will start tonight makeing a new set and look for a flaw or lack -there- of. what a can tell you is that when the wing is built, there is still no way to see the kink.. you cant stand in a spot to eyeball down the wing and the kink is hidden by the aileron. i have no kink in my #2 wing and a small one in my right one and it looks like there was a small offset in the cutting jigs in block 33-65.5 BL

can we still get the Open EZ dwg A13 or do you need to know some one?

I'm lost, my best guess is the left wing is 0 deg over the 67.bl (end of strake) and 8mm down at the tip (about a foot back for the blend) measured from the LE. the water line at the wing tip is .08 down(that is measured from the LE to the TE ) what do you all think ? bottom line (this time) is 3/8 low....3/8 twist . :confused: run with it ? or start over or a third option ?
