It would be much more difficult for freshmen to install rivets under the wing if the wing was already in place before that part of the project began.

Could you use an adjustable cable tensioner to correct the wing droop, or was it always your intent to use that as a suspension point anyway?

View Quote With the spinning propellers, it was always the intention to have suspension, especially for safety. It's just too long for me to be comfortable. Yes, a tensioner probably would be enough to correct the drop, but once we add the cowlings and propellers, my guess is it might still be a problem. Too much weight. |

If you make a FUGO that needs ping pong balls, let me know - I can hook you up with a donation of a few hundred PP balls in a snap.
For the record - the days of spontaneously flammable celluloid ping pong balls went away around 2005. All modern (USATT and ITTF-approved) ping pong balls are now made of inert ABS plastic. Now, about those t-shirts... |

I'm confused by the trying foam and rib sammich where "Students are unsure if it will work", isn't that how you've done nearly every project so far?
I guess I'm not seeing how it wouldn't work or something. Maybe I skimmed too fast. |

Windscreen is looking great.
Any change with the technique or was the thinner material just much easier to shape? Looks like everything is going pretty smooth. Edit- Read through the entire F22 thread this past week. All the updates and documentation are so well done not sure how you do it all with everything else on your plate. Now I get to try and catch up on this one. |

It's way more fragile when cutting than the lexan. This was just acrylic, and 1/8". Having some time with the heat gun also helped him understand what he needed to do to get the material to bend without going too far. |

It is still very rough in it's resemblance to what we want and that can be tough on trying to keep a persistent attitude. |

It is still very rough in it's resemblance to what we want and that can be tough on trying to keep a persistent attitude. I can understand a frustration of knowing how something can/should work and trying to get a new group to understand that, especially when you've had different or better/worse results with previous classes and are now into a pipeline of learning how to build large scale projects. That's a lot for a teacher to keep track of while getting students to have the same confidence you and we have in them. |

With such a severe bend in the windshield, would it be easier to actually use the framing lines as frames so you could put a moderately curved piece and a lightly curved piece in rather than a single big piece?

I'm pretty sure the students could just rivet a piece of aluminum over the window error. Isn't that what LockMart would do?
