| Subject: | Building: Fitting the fuselage through the window? |
Dear builders - former and current,
I'm currently in the process of finding a suitable place to build. I've
been offered a couple of rooms that could be turned into a work shop in
a building around the corner. But the big drawback: The widest opening
is a 130cm x 130cm (51'' x 51'') large window. Will this be of use to
complete at least some of the building stages? I thought about building
the fuselage and moving it outside for engine installation.
It's a mono-wheel. The fuselage width is stated as 1.12m. So this should
be OK. The hight is stated as 1.59m, but this is main-wheel to top of
the vertical stabilizer. It should be less when measured from the
tail-wheel. Plus, the fuselage could be rolled 45 when moving the tail
through the window. With plenty of help, of course.
Is this feasible or should I walk away from this offer? Did you work
shops have similar limitations?
All the best,
Simon

Is the wall which this opening is located within constructed of wood or masonry?

It's masonry. I think the owner would disapprove if I tried to make it
larger.

Hi Simon,
That's plenty of room to move the fuselage through a window.
It all depends of what level the window is. Ground level would be
perfect. Concerning the tail, do you have enough room inside to move the
fuselage around so as to insert the tail first ? Or room outside to do
the reverse ?
Of course, you won't install the wheels before getting the fuse through
the window.
Why not print a side view of the fuselage at a definite scale and try it
on a plan ?
I've seen many a fuselage getting through much narrower apertures.

Forgive my ignorance, as a non-builder; the link makes no mention of whether this
is applicable to mono or trigear, from which I must interpret that it is applicable
to both. Am I therefore correct in assuming that the same frame is fitted
to both variants? In which case one must assume that the loads on this frame
on a mono are vastly higher than they are on a trigear?
