Can anyone tell me where to get rivets used in the aluminum fuel tank construction? Bob, book says - use weldable solid and blind rivets. I can not find a solid aluminum rivet that has the word "weldable". I think the standard AD rivet used on the wing is a 2000 alloy and is not considered...

On the 4 place side by side - both sides have rudders with brakes. On the tandem patrol the rear seat just has rudder pedals - no brakes. Is that how most are building their airplane? sjt

I used a 3 inch pipe to impart something of a curve. The 3 inch pipe helps but I was hoping for a better result. My choices of diameter pipe to fit around is limited to 2 inch or 3 inch. Rivets along the length of the spar will hold it, I was hoping for a closer fit. sjt Austin Texas

Syringe was from tractor supply - probably for a horse. Whatever it was used for I would have run the other way. The plunger keeps it from spilling while moving. For me the attach holes have a 1/2 inch offset referenced from main spar attach hole with a vertical plumb bob.

I used the shoulder screw and spring from a cleco side clamp. I used a lathe to make something similar to the cleco flange. I tapped a 1/2-13 thread thru 3/8 x 3/4 cold rolled steel bar. I also welded a 1/2-13 nut onto the bar for extra threads. Two 1/8 dowels are force fit into bottom jaw to...

Can anyone tell me if this is what is meant to be used in this location? It does not seem to be very substantial. Also it does not look the the drawing. Is it seated into plate backward and then a locking nut goes on back side? stan p284

(bearhawk patrol) It was mentioned once before on the forum, but I did not understand at the time. This may be model specific. I am working on the Patrol. I thought that building on a table would be similar to builing in a wing stand. I have seen plumb bobs used between attach plate holes when...

$389.99 is the cheapest price I have seen this for. I bought and modified it. I recommend it over harbor freight type. https://eaabuilderslog.org/?blprojentry&proj=7XFn3SHmH&e=7XGUzxbsX&listcat= You can not bend a spar with it but it if you modify it and use a foot it is useful. It takes...

The drawing on my set does not make sense. The hole distance must match the aileron. The same goes for the flap.

The patrol and probably the 4 place have doubled (back to back) 032 root ribs. There is a 032 attach angle for the spars on the fuselage side. I am trying to confirm that there is no reason to add the 032 attach angle on the outside since it does not attach to the spar and that location is...

This would be obvious for someone with a lathe. A lathe is needed to make the bell crank, but the lathe bits are useful without a lathe. The 4130 tubing can be jigged up using an array of lathe bits as needed. The bits come in sizes 1/16 1/8 3/16 1/4 5/16 3/8 1/2. I get the cheap ones from...
