FUS-70 corner wraps
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:01 am
Wayne, you said you have used .025 FUS-70 with no buckling. I thought
the FUS-70 was .032. Are there two versions or have I missed something?
You guys are determined we will never finish our Elite! Every time the
light at the end of he tunnel brightens something else to be redone
surfaces. I'm not fond of repainting - especially polyurethane - but we
have decided that to replace buckled corner wraps, wherever they are,
will require the same amount of drilling and refitting whether done now
or later. So, we will fit Sean's under floor angles between the carry
through and lower engine mounts. Additionally, contour some witches hat
flanges to fit inside the corner wraps at bottom front and top rear. No
plans for ffoats or skis(sunny South you know) so we avoid the rougher
duty. With my railroad bridge style shoulder harness attachment
spanning the first two top fuselage panels aft of the cabin and the
floor helping brace the lower fuselage and the witches hat and angles in
the lower front we'll see. Oh yes, we'll aways make greaser landings
as well.
Will report results after flyoff but that will be some time off.
