| Subject: | FEW Mustang Canopy |
Hello all,
I am building a FEW P-51D and I wish to add a back seat, providing the
person isn't too terribly large. In order to make more headroom, I an
going
to make a high-top canopy instead of the teardrop canopy supplied with
the
kit. It will be approximately the same size over the pilot's head but
will
extend over the passenger's head and taper somewhat sharply behind the
passenger's head. I will fabricate fiberglass skirts, skirt frame and
canopy bow. I plan to have a quick change release in order to switch
canopies. If there are any interested persons please email me.
I found an aircraft custom canopy shop not three blocks from where I
work
and they do excellent work. I plan to have the front canopy side panels
redone there as well.
Does anyone have information about the springs used in the tailwheel box
assembly? I need the large spring that pulls the trapeze yoke against
the
over-center blocks and the uplock latch return spring. If I could get
the
spring barrel diameter, length, wire dia, pounds/inch tension and a
picture,(to identify the type of end hook). Any information would be
appreciated. With this, I can order the parts from the McMaster Carr
catalog.
I am also fabricating a hydraulic cylender for the tail wheel retract
mechinism and will publish plans as soon as it is completed.
Is anyone here not a member of the Replica Fighter's Association? It is
a
group that is dedicated to the building and flying of replica military
aircraft. They have a fairly active website and builder's group at
