Re: Nothing Fancy, Just Dust's Plane Day
Well, attached foam to attach metal mounting plate to attach strobe, position and tail light. Almost made a mistake and had an intersection that would cause drag like the previous wing to vert stab intersection. Could have cost me .1 mph!
made mounting plate for jacks black box for the nose gear, course had taked the nut plates to the hanger and the riveting tool there too. Working on the plane every day this weekend going to take a little drive mich to arkansas, 15 hrs driving time per google maps pick up cozy three arkansas to minnesota, 11 hrs driving time per google maps drop off cozy three minnesota to mi, 11 hrs driving time per google maps, stop driving, should do it in 3.25 days

Re: Nothing Fancy, Just Dust's Plane Day
sorry you guys couldn't stop by for quick lunch...
BTW, the T-system wing jig worked great! I mated the LE cores to the shear web. Wing is now on the work table preparing for spar cap layups. Thanks for the great suggestion!! -- Remi

Re: Nothing Fancy, Just Dust's Plane Day
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yep, the drive was loooooooooooong and the stops were exactly 3 hours apart and short. 44 hours of driving in 3.5 days, taking the plane apart and securing it took longer than planned, of course, unloading became difficult as there was no highlow/forklift available, but a local EAA chapter pres came through with a chain fall. All went well

Re: Nothing Fancy, Just Dust's Plane Day
4 hours today to do just one little thing, get a dam pull wire in the wing for the position/stobe
Finally got one through, tried vacuum and string, and then vacuum and string and compressed air, 1/4 nylaflow, 1/8 nyloseal went back to the 1/4 nyloseal and FINALLY IT WORKED. on my 2cd and last pull wire my buddy said, not to worry it will work, should not have listened and pull in two pull wires for safety. lesson learned, i hope
