Pietenpol-List: Re: Elevator bell crank stremline tube size

Post by matronics »

>Michael,I haven't built this part yet, but I don't see why it would need to be streamline tube. Plain ol' round tube with the ends "squished" should work just fine. Flat steel would to be too heavy, since you'd need to have such a thick bar to avoid flexing. The whole reason for streamlined tubing being streamlined is to reduce wind resistance, which should NOT be an issue inside the fuselage. My guess is that BHP just made use of offcuts that were on hand, since it's such a short piece needed.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 6#280056le, List Admin.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 17:24:18 -0800 (PST)

A question for Sky Scout builders. Does that model use the same numbers, 15-20" aft LE of wing for CG range? I am building from the Flying Glider Manual plans and havent seen that point discussed there.Dick N.________________________________________________________________________________

TomYes, for a lack of anything better to do on these cold winter nights I am working on another project. I have a set of wing ribs, a jig fot the tail feathers and am going thru left over parts from other projects. If I can't find another project for the Sun n Fun tent, I will bring along something to build. I am still hard at work mainly at completing the Volmer Sportsman Amphib and only doing small stuff on the Sky Scout,Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
