..one opportunity at the time..
The truss tubes provide the for/aft strength of the wing. Since these are in place now, I continue with the ailerons horns and linkages. Once those are done, I can start on the aileron and trailing edge. Then only repeat 3 more times. Funny how some of the ribs look skewed, but it’s honestly the … Read more
Finally getting the hang of producing chips in a consistent way. I think I need approx 36 pcs of the brackets you see in the second image. By the time I have those made, I’ll be an experd. These by the way are fittings for truss-tubes in the wings. Once the wings are covered nobody … Read more

Finally got the airspeed sensors, so what better to do on a rainy afternoon them to play with them? First the specs: Datasheet, and a picture. Bear in mind that all these diy chips are basically old stuff. This one dates from 2012. Obviously nothing wrong with them, they are still used in a lot … Read more

(Trust me to install rainwater capture tanks, and then it does not rain for months!) Challenge of the day: I really, really want to make these small metal parts myself. Problem … Read more
