Where am I standing....

In short:

powerplant: almost done... remains: Reverse the electrical supply of the electrovalve and mounting on the plane.... Voir la page Moteur/réducteur.

Main Gear: Done but a glue plate to get a good support for the flanges. See the landing gears page.

Wings: Spars glued. See the wing page.

Fuselage: Fuselage structure completed, Empennage glued, 45° corners done. See the fuselage page.

Empennage: Vertical stabilizer glued. Yaw structure done. See the empennage page.

Stabilator: Structure glued. See the empennage page.

Composite Material: See the Composites page.

Powerplant/Reducer : powerplant
almost done, need to invert the turbo oil intake and change the solenoid valve . See Powerplant/Reducer .

Details:

I made the decision to start with the fuselage (its frames). Initially I intended to begin with the empennage, but after the structure is made and before gluing the sking, mounting the brackets, hinges in particular, takes place on the fuselage. Everything is nested and, in the other hand, the empennage must be ready before coating the fuselage.... Starting with the fuselage frames is my choice, anyhow I had to start somewhere! Because the fuselage takes lots of room, I will continue with the vertical empennage, then the horizontal. At this point only, I go about the assembly of the fuselage. I'll leave the wings for the end…

  • December 2010: I mailed the check to order the plans.
    It seems like an easy thing to do but… first this is symbolic, second this stand for “end of the doubts and thinking through” and last but not least it kicks off the adventure....
  • December / January requests for quotes then I ordered the wood, foam, fiber glass, part of the epoxy etc.
  • February 26, 2011: I waited Geoffroy’s (my son) visit to actually begin. Drawing of frame corner 1 ... the first one. Geoffroy drew it by hand, then I had the plan printed at scale 1 and I made templates.
