Re: C17 in New Zealand.

So here's the latest photos on the side and a couple of closeups of some little holes in the fairing putty. What do you guys reckon? Will they fill with high build primer or do I patch with a little epoxy putty? Aside from little details like that I'm just about ready to put a couple of coats of ep...

Whoa! Looking good Jeff! Stoked Fusion is working for you!

All you need now is a cnc.

Re: C19 Stretch and re-build Progress Report...

I asked for a fuel system pic, and I got it. Thanks!

I’ve been stuck on filling through the gunwale, but you got me off that. I’ve accepted that filling at the console is the best solution.

Short fill hose, no belly in the line, and easy to refuel while underway.

Thanks Tom. Back to the stretch!

Re: C19 Stretch and re-build Progress Report...

Hey Tom! A little off topic, but do you have any pics of your fuel tank set up? I’m interested in where you routed the fill hose.

Re: Sation A of CX 25

I easiest the camber dimension at the midpoint of the straight line between the two points. Was this right? I don’t know, but I’m certain it didn’t lead to problems on my C19. When you stitch then plywood around this frame, it’s going to do whatever it wants, regardless of where you placed the offse...

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM

Sweet! I can almost hear the door closing tight! Does this mean you can climatize inside the cabin and get some work done in there? It gets cold here because there is no ocean temperatures to temper those winds from the Arctic. So when we get north blasts; it gets cold. It gets colder as you go nor...

Re: Bob's FS18

Ahhh. I gotcha. Thanks, Bob.

Jeff, would a layer of 1/2” or 3/4” foam, filleted in and glasses over on the bottom side stiffen things up?

VT Jeff and I, I believe, are anxiously looking ahead to details like this while we spend our time with our heads between stringers and frames.
