Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

Josh,
Found them too. Plus local Sonex builder Ken Irwin recommended this place:

I have a quote request into both of them.

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

I did a little experiment with scrap. I pilot drilled a piece of .025 flush with the edge of a piece of angle. Then I offset the simulated skin .025 and drilled through with a #30. The hole cleaned up pretty good. If I have any holes I don't like I will go up to a #21 and use an AN470AD5 solid rivet...

Re: Primer

Any 40's, 50's, 60's, or 70's era Cessna will be unprimed 2024-T3 alclad, except for a minority of airframes. The C140 I was restoring had some corrosion issues. Considering it is 68 years old that is not too bad. I am not sure that an unprimed airplane would be harder to sell than an overweight one...

Robbie,
It was. I find present progress more inspiring than future problems!

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

I was thinking I was tired and should go to bed. Then I saw Robbie's post and went to the hangar. I got 3 out of the 4 longerons piloted to the skins.

Re: Losing the training wheel.

I have not looked at W&B yet. What is the a Sonex datum? Are the TOB wheels in a slightly different spot?

Re: Losing the training wheel.

I would be very interested in the weight of the old vs the new parts.
