I fully understand the requirement for an interference pin fit to avoid the h ammering out of the holes over time. That said, could "taper pins" be used? cheers, Pete rt / reassemble / take apart / r
Thinking out loud here, what about very accurately machining substantive in ternal bolt bushings (made of a material to not cause galvanic corrosion), t ap them all the way down the tube to their pro

If the 'coating' you refer to is flouronation, then it is very difficult to tell. If the flouronation is done to a high level, then the finish of the plastic is 'frosty', similar to a 'frosted' opaqu
I have two of these.... Kevin will turn the fitting down to the exact diamet er one specifies. http://www.tostenmanufacturing.com/catalog/aircraft-grips/cs-8-aircraft-grip .html They can also be purc
Hi Richard, Paypal is the industry std, and as an intermediary totally obfuscates your card information from the vendor - and they are owned by Ebay. FWIW I use it regularly without issue, allowing m
peanut gallery comment: if one goal is use the rad/oil cooler outputs for cabin heat, would it not be better to put the flap on the outlet (instead of the inlet)? this way the slower (and thus hotter
Beautiful pictures! I hope you did have oxygen (dangerous otherwise). What was the outside temperature? Have you had any effects on the fiberglas s? Cracking on the paint finish? Cheers and more blue
Thanks Karl and Bob for the offer - much appreciated! I think I have found the stuff locally so no need to pursue it further right now, but they have everything in one spot - it would make it much ea
Not commenting on chemistries, but if we are talking about the rear lift sockets, it is my understanding that the rear pins are under tension during accelerated flight (like a pull-up) preventing the
All the lifting loads are taken by the lift pins on the side of the fuse. Th e pip pins function only to tie the spars together and keep the wings from f olding up under G. The geometry is such that
No idea if this is of any value or not, but might a campers thin "rope saw" m ay be of use to get into a tight space? I guess threading it would be diffic ult tho. e come to believe. By leaning =98wa
Oops.....collision, apologies for my duplicate post... Cheers, Pete the item being cut, and possibly quite a small entry and exit slot in the belly - though you'd need to thread it over the item to b
To answer this, one has to draw the lift and drag vectors on the wing both at low and high angle of attack (and thus g's at high speeds) and you will see that the resultant total vector is well ahead
Thx Graham, My sentiments exactly. And to the question of why the spars are strapped together, and why one pin h as to be a pip pin, is because we have simple overlapping spars, and not for k spars,
When I had my tank and cobra (re/post) fluorinated by an industrial outfit, they confirmed it to be LDPE, fwiw. The finished treated tank had a severe frosted finish.... an indication that the level
Oops...should have included it in my sig.... a239 Indeed it *was* factory fourinated, albeit i have to assume to a lower level . The industrial folks who I used had different levels, the highest of w
PS - the Europa factory obviously treats prior to finish cuts as well..... which pretty well negates the value of the process imho. Cheers, Pete a239 t, they confirmed it to be LDPE, fwiw. == == == =
Hi Andrew, If you do go ahead with it in the next month or two, and if you were interested (ie-if you had to ship further away than expected) I could ship my small 3Gallon tank to you in my Europa ta
