STOL kit (was Borer Prop for Rebel on Floats)

Post by klehman » Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:00 am

It's 0.032 and as it only rivets to the 0.020 leading edge skin and ribs
(not the spar) so it would be a large stretch to think it strengthens
the wing.

Probably pretty close Bruce! I don't remember what gauge it was made out of
but by estimation the cuff has to be at least a 16" piece of aluminum
(likely wider) and there's 24' of it. That's a minimum of 2/3rds of a 12'
sheet of aluminum. Therefore if it's .020 = 9lb, .025 = 11.3lb, .032 =
14.7lb for the cuff skin, then add a few pounds for rivets, the foam ribs
and adhesive. Add to that as well the wing fences made out of .063"? (I
believe) are good for 3 lbs/set.

The STOL kit can't weigh that much. It's only like an extra layer of
leading
edge skins. Well, maybe it can act as the thicker Elite leading edge and
increase the gross to 1850 lb. Unofficially of course.
