Engine/motor mount
*NOTE* The cowl on this plane is made light. Do not mount a nose ring to this cowl unless you add a reinforcement strip of 4 oz glass or 2.5 oz carbon weave. ESPECIALLY if you intend on using a 4 stroke. I suggest using the Hyde ARAI(S) or a mount. You can use an ARA or Budd mount, but realize you will have to add some strength to the cowl to support it. An OS 140 for instance probably wouldn't give you any trouble, but if a DZ kicked back hard, it could turn your nose into confetti if you don't use reinforcement.

Set of large scale radio south hinges

Various hardware of your choice; keep it light.


Partial tooling list:

Flat table!!!!! I use various different tables, my favorite is a piece of 3/4" MDS board (flooring) with a frame built to bottom.

Fuse jig- I ue the gator jigs, but you can build your own if you wish. I installed it on a 90" length of MDS board and built a unique but simple attachment on each end. It consists of a "C" section of wood, approximately 14" tall with a piece of tubing, music wire, whatever drilled down through it so the wire stands exactly vertical on each end. This allows me to run a string top and bottom, so I can sight down the string and cut a prefect center plane down the fuse formers.

Sanding blocks- Man, can you get crazy here. A good builder has every kind of sanding tool you can imagine, and some he invents for special applications. I have long sanding blocks of various grit (80 is my favorite for general building), small hard squares of MDS board with stick on sandpaper (about hand sized, various lengths of brass tubing with sandpaper wrapped around the ends, and small sticks to use as files. Use your imagination here, you'll be happy you did.

Hole saws: These are the type with saw teeth encircling a 1/4" drill bit. Use a 7/8" bit for the wing tube holes, and then use a piece of wing tube with some standard 180 grit paper to open up the hole to a perfect fit. Otherwise I have quite a few sizes for lightening holes here and there.

Sharpened brass tubing: It's cheap, so get a lot. This is how I do a lot of perfectly round hole cutting, and I consider this essential.

Dremel: Need I say more?

Scroll saw: If you only have one power cutting tool in your shop, this is it. If you don't have one, put one on your Christmas list!

Drill press, band saw, power drills, hand tools, etc....
