OSH is getting pretty BIG. http://www.terrafugia.com/ Bob . . . ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:46:21 AM PST US Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: New kid on the block . . . From: Robert Borger 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. Bob Borger On Jun 29, 2010, at 8:22, Robert L.

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. Roger ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:44:31 PM PST US From: "ROGER & JEAN CURTIS" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Panel punch 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.

Kind of heavy but maybe one of those "if it fits it ships" USPS boxes wouldn't be too much.

It cut both the typical instruments sizes.

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.
