She creeps and sleeps

After the burst of activity that was sourcing drag wire stock I let the project lag again. I don't know why. Excuses range from "busy working", to "I didn't feel like it", to "the garage is a disaster." Any way, I'm back at it again for a little while. Some ancillary projects were completed, flashback arrestors on the welding torch and cleaning a sticky regulator, cleaning the garage, and building adjustable sawhorses for wing assembly.

I got a coat of zinc-phosphate primer on my finished wing fittings to stave off rust.


 Last night I finished preparing the new aileron control horns. I bent the old ones wrong and they cracked slightly, unairworthy but useful for practice. The new ones are bent correctly and only need some welding completed before they can get primed too. On that vein, I'm practicing my welding and am finally getting some welds I feel good about. They might not be pretty yet, certainly not perfect, but they have full penetration and look strong compared to my first attempts. I need to get better about adding filler rod and keeping the bead size uniform.
That's it for now, I'll keep plugging away at it. I need to get the drag wire attach brackets bent

Decent, but not great welds.

Gear Legs

Last updated November 8th, 2022!?  Time sure gets away from you sometimes, doesn't it. Woof..  A lot of time was spend figuring out main landing gear legs. The first step was taking the info from the Piper drawings and laying out the gear v's full size on my table, then jigging the parts in place.  This is what we're building. The left side of the picture would be facing the front of the aircraft.   And here's the jig laid out on my table. The nearer jig sets the relationship between the forward tube and the axle. The farther jig aligns the forward and rear tube as well as the bushings on which the gear leg will pivot. With the jigs laid out it's time to manufacture parts. First came the pivot bushings, and they were a bit of a process. First the little U-shaped piece of metal that holds the bushing needs to get bent to shape. I made a little die the right size to bend the material in my vice. After the U is bent it then gets a notch ground out to fit around the...

10 months in under 10 minutes.

I don't feel like going into depth on every little aspect of work I've done over the last 10 months, so I'll hit the highlights and if anyone has questions, feel free to comment and I'll elaborate.  As the year started the garage was cold. With a propane heater it would get warm enough to work for a few hours, but because 4130 steel is an air-tempered alloy, it needs to be sufficiently warm out for welding. Long story short; I can't weld, so I make parts. I plugged away making little bits so I can use them when it comes time to build a new assembly. The landing gear legs and spring struts have metal straps to reinforce the bushings in the ends. I knocked these out in a couple days after work. Likewise, the tabs that will become door hinges and the fittings for the tailwheel were cut, drilled, and deburred. As it warmed up and I got an order of laser-cut parts the aileron control arm and pulley brackets were welded to the torque tube for the control stick.  I also cu...

Fuselage Sides

 Once the tail surfaces were done and I decided to pursue widening the fuselage to 38" I could clear the jig blocks from the table and paint over the lines for the tail. I then laid out all the dimensions for the fuselage side onto the fresh white paint. It's worth noting here that the plans give views of the top, bottom, and side of the fuselage, as if you are looking straight at the side. However, the sides angle back in space, so if you were to flatten that side out to lay on the table, it will actually be longer than the dimensions given on the drawing. In drafting, flattening out a panel like that is referred to as "developing". Widening the fuselage by almost 5" also changes the length of the side, so the developed side is actually 1.5" longer than shown in the side view. I drew up the developed side in CAD and used the dimensions from CAD to lay out on the table. The dimensions given on the drawing are to tubing centerlines and need to be offset to s...
