Nice job Craig. It to cold here in California to do any lay-ups so I am
building
POPS' KNOCKDOWN FUSELAGE CRADLE

The only problem is he didn't publish any measurements other than the lenght
of the 2x4's. I built it yesterday, but it was not right. So last night I took
a piece of paper and figured out the measurements. I figured out that the
base needs to be 18 inches and that the side 2x4 needs to be at 18 inches also.
That will give me the right angle. So I can move the canoe to any position
I need during the build. Flat, 45 degrees or 90 degrees.
I'll look into doing the fuel tank spacer today or tomorrow. Then the servo.
I need to figure out where I put it. I took it out of the aileron and put it
back it it's box, but where I put the box is the question.
I like your arrangement, but I still think that attaching it to the push-pull
rod might work. I'll try it and see. I'll use regular UNI and do a ten ply
layup. I'll us a four inch circle. I foud on ole Planters can that I'll tape
up with duck tape and wax it then do the layup on it. I'll cut a hole in a
board
so the can is flat. I'll let you know my outcome. where is OZ are you?
About ten years ago I picked up a tuna boat north of Auckland. I had fifteen
days there. I traveled all over the north island. I had a great time. I
joined
the flying club and flew from the ninety mile beach to the south shore.
I tried to fly over the channel but the government would not allow me to go
because
of the single engine and WX. When I win the Lotto I'll come back.
