He'd have to put them on the full-scale if he did it on the model...just like that pesky baggage door. I seem to recall Arash saying that this airplane would be covered in Flite Metal and left natural aluminum with painted trim. Does that mean that the big one is getting stripped and polished as well?gahorn wrote:Bartone exhaust plans...???...or ORIGINAL?
This rabbit hole is getting really deep, really fast. And I'm getting fidgety watching because I kind of want to build one now...

Re: 27% 170B build
Oddly enough, I have never had more than a passing interest in this hobby, and my satisfaction of that interest has always been achieved by watching others. After following this thread I've come to the conclusion that when taken seriously, it takes a great amount of talent to do it right. I think you'd make a good structures mechanic. I have found that people who are craftsmen with wood, such as finish work like cabinet and furniture making, can transition easily to working with aircraft type structures. Different materials, different tooling, but same requirements for detail, precision and desire for perfection.

I did not see mention of material or fasteners. Do you know what type/thickness material he uses, and how does he fasten metal to metal?

Arish,
How will you put fuel in the fuel tank?

Oh! I see I envisioned you having to remove the cowl and pour fuel into the tank filler cap. Your idea is to pump fuel (squeeze bottle?) into the tank like maybe a "T" in the line to the carburetor? What is the fitting in the fuel line between the carburetor an firewall fitting?

Re: 27% 170B build
Gutsy move, Mav. However, I would think that for all but the last sheet, this wouldn't be an issue. You could actually have good access to the internal trusses and glue the sheeting on from the backside except for the last piece, of course; but at that point you'd have a solid enough structure to use wood glue and tape that sheet in place. I've gotten picky and lazy the longer I build my models, and after several sleep-deprived nights of gluing something into place with CA only to have it shift before it cured, I try my best to use anything but CA unless I'm wicking thin into a structure that's either in a fixture, or tab and slot construction.Aryana wrote:Charlie, I used medium CA...
This thing is looking better and better each day! I didn't think it would turn out looking this much like a 170 based on the plans that I saw at Toledo when he announced the airplane, but I'm impressed! You've done a stellar job with it.

Arash - words cannot describe my awe.
I look forward to your updates and really want to see it when you're done.
