i wanted to make jacks bell-crank and there is no size, just the work "full size" and i asked my printer to print full size and it did:p where did you cut the nylaflow off at ?.....flush both ends ?
-
i have the outer skin on and have drawn the location of the future cut-out of the rudder on the inboard side. the plans call out a 90deg cut from the leading edge of the rudder but the pencil sketch from jack shows it cut to follow the horizon. i will follow jacks way. i lost 25q in's from the rudder, because of the blend. so i added 1" from top to bottom (plans have the with at 7.5, i made it 8.5). and its 40" high so i added 40q in" ? what ant. did you put in yours ? i have the cable in and awaiting.................................

RST reading said to soder a 14(romex) gage down the foil to complete it.

-
i don't see the rudder root end is cut yet, will it be horizontal ? or will it be 90 deg from the LE (rudder) ? will (did) you add to the overall size ? any chance you know how long your bell crank is (bolt-to-bolt,est) ? did you do any rudder work be for you skinned the top ?

your right steve, but your TE is not right ! sand it flat and you good to gothere is no kink in the TE of the cozy but there is in the foam leading away from the TE. so much care will be needed to get it flat if you did it right you will have flat at the same time you have strate. if you are close you should have flat and convect or curved then just sand the TE at the root block till its flat
-
i found the kink ! the te was not straite (close).as the thread went from end to end i could see there was a bow in it to flaten it out, i needed to sand mostly on the jc1(root block) and as i sanded it, it got lower (becase the TE is a big V at one end) So, if you want you kink gone just file your TE in or out . ok, clear as mud right.....heres a pic you can see from the bottom right, how sanding will lower the TE . this will not work if you have a top skin on this repair is done when you remove the TE hump.

Wow, i would but now i have mico up to my you-know-what...
-
i have the kink about 67 (the inner block of foam outboard seam)i will check wing#2 tonight (glassing side one today) and see where the kink ends up, i will be there to help put it where i want it ! dont worry about it, you can press it out (or in) with heat and clamps

Reducing the rotation speed
steve replied to vonjet's topic in Performance, Aerodynamics & Structure
we sat at RR and looked at TO roll's and we could see the planes that would lift off early because of the aoa to the ground the higher the canardthe faster they fly(nutting was helped by this posting) -
bolt it down then build a pee-vee, ill draw it faster then i can type it.....ok here it is as you can see the end is very importent so you can bend a little bit at a time moveing up and down the tube, spent 10 min not 10 sec and you will be good to go (we hope) or pay for shiping and i can weld on a new tube for free (well, a ride)
-
trailing edge.... your wing looks good so you may not need anything, but mine needed help. i used Angle aluminum 6' and some other scrap to hold up the trailing edge.but remember the "dip". when all was flat there was lots of pressure because i was trying to fores the TE into the rough shape. if i just clamped the first 2 feet or so, then clamped the next 2/3rds all was well. trim back the sher so there is no buildup (but you new that). after you lay it flat, i use thread (unbrakeabl) then i pull the thread over the wing and put 1/16th shim under both ends, that way i can see how flat it is. if a can fit the same size shim under the thread in the center of the wing then i'm happy
-
4-8 was my order. shipping was/is a big killer 50.00 dollar washer, if you know what i mean. order a roll of bid and a roll of uni i payed 100. for a semi to drop off my longerons (10feet long) cut the dumb things (ups is 8 feet i think) a big bucket full of an bolts would be cool in the start as-well order extra 7 ply find a 4'x4' of 1/8" 2024t3 locally (1/4" 2'x2') buy a started cozy save big(not as much fun as starting from scratch) lots more if you are moding it(strkes, FHC, wider,longer,rotary,est)
-

steve replied to Big Steve's topic in Builder Progress Reports & Motivation
i think thats what i did. i had my spar in the plane and needed to invent a way to drill it. BIG STEVE, any chance you could slow down a bit, we cant see a thing in all this dust ! (looking good buddy) -
nope, i think 3 are left . the rest are boxed up and will never be for sale.they were sold with a unlimited warranty and there for were all(most) sold back to the manufacturer:sad:
