Hi all,
Where the upper cross ties meet the longeron there is supposed to be two rivets on each part. There is about a .060 gap between the upper wide flange and longeron. I am going to shim it. Has anybody else seen this before?

Welding thread

I bought some old smith regulators on eBay and some small torch tips at the welding supply store. If you wan...

Re: Quota
Vic,
Well put, that is what I was thinking. Also I confess I am overdue for joining the foundation.

If you want quality gas welding stuff for cheap eBay is your friend. Buy old stuff, name brands. I took...

Re: Vic's Sonex 969 Scratchbuilt project
Ihab, There are better welders a than me here but I will take a shot at your question. Gas welding is all about controlling the weld pool. You have to have the right amount of heat going in and the torch is always moving - in a circle that always translates along. You hold the rod where it is nice a...

Re: Young Eagles and Sonex Smile
Looks like fun Bob! I have to get current in the C140 and do some YE rides for our scout troop. My boys went to a class for the aviation merit badge today.

Quota
Chris,
Can we increase quota? Would it take fees or something to fund the space? I would rather post here than photobucket.

Re: Upper splice plates to cross tie box
Here is what I did. I ran the holes through the upper web that matched the splice plate. There were 4 on the forward channel and one on the aft channel (per side). Then I transferred the one hole from the splice plate to the middle of the web. I clecoed the box back in and found that the right side ...
