Wonder if we'll see this guy at OSH this year . . .
or perhaps he's been there before and I just didn't
notice or hear of it. OSH is getting pretty BIG.

Bob,
Terrafugia has been at the last two Airventures. I'm sure they'll be there this
year as well. Though it will probably be a couple more years before you see
one fly at Airventure.

This one has been around for a few years. Looks like the
project is moving along quite well. Apparently they are getting very close
to having a marketable item. My understanding is that they still have some
work to make it roadable, accident safety, crumple zones, etc. but it has
flown and I have seen it at Sun-n-Fun.

Does anyone on the list have a 3 1/8" panel punch that you might be willing
to loan out? I have a set of Greenly Punches but do not have one this
large. I need to punch about 3 instrument holes in my panel and I feel the
punch is the best way to go. The panel is light gauge aluminum, so will be
very easy to punch. I have considered using a hole saw, but I have never
been able to make a nice clean hole with this method.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have one you would be welcome to borrow. 3-1/8 on one side, 2-1/4 on the
other. Kind of heavy but maybe one of those "if it fits it ships" USPS
boxes wouldn't be too much.

Hi Roger,
When I did my RV-6A panel some years ago, I rented a punch from Bob Avery
for a nominal fee. It cut both the typical instruments sizes.
Regards,
Richard Dudley

A technique I use for a cleaner hole when using a large hole saw is to drill
the pilot hole first. Then put a standard drill bit into the hole saw
reversed so that the flutes cannot work the pilot hole wider and wider. You
may also use a scrap piece of steel rod (1/4" on my hole saw). The idea is
to not enlarge the pilot hole as the larger part of the hole saw does it's
thing. Of course clamp it tight and use a sharp hole saw for best results.
Clean up with a high speed rotary deburing bit on a die grinder.
