looks good.
Remember, if you don't need all three, you can easily take them off. but putting them on later would be a pain. You must have a lot of snow down to be playing sailor?

I have the structure in for my "Elevators " I found out that's what there called not Ailerons. Anyway , and rudders .
I still need to attach the plates and cut them to fit. There will be 3 elevators 36" X6" and 2 rudders 50"X 10" Going to use ss steel hinges to attach them and use a "Drag link" to hook them together, and move them up and down with a car window motor. The rudders will be the same but turned with a Mechanical shafts and bell cranks. |

Really looking good now. A lot of effort for a project of that complexity. Did you guys actually make any kind of design drawings ie engineering type like blueprints to scale? Before you started cutting and fitting things together. Anyone predetermine what stresses will be put out by the engine and prop against what is holding the parts together? So you will know that it won't "fly apart" under full power and loaded with gear & you guys. You will certainly have to "host" a showing when we all show up for MYGAWDS.
There looks like a "belt" hanging from the generator or alternator in one picture. Edited by Irish Bird Dog - 23 March 2018 at 17:20 |

Plans ? NO
Drawings ?NO Engineering ? NO But if it is worth building it's worth OVER building. Just a complex Image in our heads. Yes there is a belt, It is the replacement Generator belt, I just have not got it on yet.

Every project has left over parts.
I always have 4-5 extra when I rebuild an automatic transmission!!! Got a bushel baskets of extra parts from rebuilds!

No engineering? No problem.
If anything is overstressed you will find out pretty quick. I have built a lot of things that I had to modify a little bit after I started using it. Wing master

In my early days as an engineer, we designed to 3 significant figures (the limit of our slide rules. Then doubled it. when I retired in 2008, the rule was design to the minimum, then add 5%.
Life moves on. In 1967, no ne shipped anything that wasn'r fully functional tested. Companies had what was called the TesRoom (shed/building). Today, they ship it before the design is done.
