Test Post -- But real questions GV15

Fritz · Post by **Fritz** » Thu Aug 15, 2002 11:10 am

Jacques -- these are real questions about the GV15.
 
 And we can test the forum.
 
 If you remember, I want to extend the casting deck back to Frame 2. This design would make what is now seat 1 part of a long casting deck. Here are my questions about that:
 
 1) The cockpit sole is 1/2 in ply and the casting deck is 3/8 play. Since I am making the casting deck longer , should I increase it to 1/2 in ply?
 
 2) Is the cockpit sole structural and does it need to be under the extended casting deck? (If not, I can use the sole plywood for the casting deck if it needs to be increased to 1/2 in)
 
 3) Would rasing the casting deck cause a design issue? Right now it is about 7 inches below the top deck -- what if it was about 2 inches below the top deck?
 
 (I know you don´t like changes to your plans <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif"> -- I´m just trying to understand what is changable and what should not be tampered with...

>1) The cockpit sole is 1/2 in ply and the >casting deck is 3/8 play. Since I am making >the casting deck longer , should I increase it >to 1/2 in ply? Switch: part of the sole under casting deck = 3/8. You could even build the hidden sole from 1/4", what counts is the FG seam all around. 2) Is the cockpit sole structural and does it need to be under the extended casting deck? (If not, I can use the sole plywood for the casting deck if it needs to be increased to 1/2 in) See above. 3) Would rasing the casting deck cause a design issue? Right now it is about 7 inches below the top deck -- what if it was about 2 inches below the top deck? No problem to raise it.

SKU is GV15, FL11, C19 etc. We may change to "boat type". Thanks for the feedback: that is why we are testing.

Where did JoJo get the Baghead? I love it. Reminds me of New Orleans Saints Fans. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">

Skydad, if you chose "Your Account" from the left column menu, and Edit your information, you will find a box for Avatar and a "List" link next to it. CLicking on the List will show you several you can choose from. Find the ohne you like, remember the number, and then pick it from the prior screen. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon21.gif">

JohnM: This is a test message. I didn´t know they had to have codes for the bars in California. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif"> Richard Warner [ This message was edited by: Skydad on 22-08-2002 21:08 ]

RW, in moments of crystal clarity (or insanity), have you ever wondered about designing and building a S+G experimental home-built airplane? Even if it´s remote controlled...maybe 1/2 size...maybe amphibious... ... Maybe a S+G skeleton with fabric covering...

On my bookshelf, I have several books about amateur plan building and the techniques are very close. I sometimes go to the local airport and bother the guys at Evolution, picking their brains to see if they came up with new ideas or building methods. In general, they are more advanced, use vacuum bagging, thermo cure etc. but many techniques are common.
