Status: online 		You know, maybe it's the hot dry air of our summers that make the O-rings crack and break easily.  A friend of mine suggested using yellow O-rings from the "Cat" store (the kind with the tracks and diesel engine that is).  I might look into that.

The shock cord I purchased from REI (at 25 cents a foot) worked well on the Camel, now to see how long it lasts being stretched out all the time.  I put O-rings on the Cub, didn't have any weight on the wheels and they lasted maybe a month before just falling off.  I would literally be changing them out every visit to the field I bet.

Neddy, I'll be interested to see what you come up with.  Don't slow down too much, you may end up like me! 

Take care,
David

That's a pretty good idea you got there about the D-Sub connectors on the wing.  Where did you get the idea?  Got to say it sounds familiar... just can't place it...

Status: online 		HA!    I know, Robert, my friend, and I hatched that little scheme to see what would happen.

Let me know how it works for you.  I've got my connectors but realized I should get some new servo wire, the stuff I have has alread been spliced once at the servo, got rid of the connector.  I'll still try to mount it, but it takes me quite a while before I can fully invision how I want to do it.

P.S.  It was actually Robert's idea.

Build a door


I've thought of building a window door/hatch on the top of the center section but it wouldn't help. The center section per the plans use the full length wing ribs which would block good access to the top fuse sides where the bolts would need to go. I think some stick structure to build a roof to the center section would be the best bet. I've build in the right sided door scale so I should have access to get up to where the bolts will go.

I'm planning on ordering some bulk O-rings for the Robart gear from McMaster-Carr. I need to measure the o-rings to know which ones to order.

Status: offline 		Neddy, I am with you as I am thinking I can reach the bolts from the open door/window.  As I said before I am thinking of one bolt on each side, either 10-24 or 1/4 -20. 

I am sheeting the interior right now, thanks to Waconuts posts.  I have to finish the LH wing panel and then I can test my wing mounting ideas.  Not sure when that will happen.  As I mentioned earlier I have a 1000 sq ft of flooring coming, so I will be  busy for a week or too on that.

I still have to do a maiden flight on my scratch built Sopwith Baby as I finally got the Quadra running after rebuilding the Walbro carb.

Status: offline 		I just picked up some 1/4-20 Thumb Screws and some 1/4 -20 T-nuts at my local Home Depot.  If I can get organized, I will get some pics up.
P.S.  The thumb screws are in the specialty hardware drawers and the T-Nuts are bagged in the orange bags on the racks nearby.

Status: offline 		Don't know if I can help you.  You have the unclipped version and wish to clip the wing?  Mine came as the clipped wing so I don't know which ribs should be omitted.   I could photo the wing plan and post if that would help. I would suggest calling Sig up and asking them, they could tell you definitively.
