George,
I will send you a picture of one of the jigs I used on a float strut. It
should work if you are drilling through an existing hole in tubing that you have
now slid other material inside. I'm no Tom Clancy when it comes to writing so a
picture will be better. (-:)>

Why not put it in the Photoshare too? Then we can all see it.

Mach Two and the Delta Dart
by Lt Col (ret) John Jazz Janazo
49 FIS 1985-87
In the winter of 1987 the 49th fighter interceptor squaudron was
slated to shut its doors on 30 June 87. It had been a wild up and
down ride on the decision to convert to F-15s. (we even had a
patch made) or close the squadron. But once the decision was
made to close the 49th down, something happened which made
all the long what if sessions of the past year worthwhile.
We became a squadron where all the check rides were completed
and up-to-date., every pilot was at a minimum a 4 ship flight lead,
there were no new/green wingmen, and there were no more
inspections of ANY kind scheduled for the boys at Griffiss!
Our glory days of outstanding ratings on ORIs and Higher Head-
quarters Stan Eval were done forever.
-But we still had our jets, still had plenty of gas money, and
still had our long-standing Air Defense mission. It was just about
fighter pilot heaven.....al we needed to make it perfect would have
been free beer and a craps table in the O Club where the house
always lost.
The commander, Lt Col Steve Peck Rogers, after a friday
tactics talk realized that many of the younger pilots who came to
the F-106 as the Dart was nearing the end of its active duty life,
had never really gotten the jet anywhere near the top end
Mach 2 limit. So he declared anyone who had NOT gone Mach
2 in the Six could get a special briefing from the Chief of Functional
Check Flights, Maj Buck Lowery, on how to get the Six up to
Mach 2. Peck Rogers then authorized one jet to fly in the slick wing,
no external tank configuration for as long as needed until every pilot
who wanted got to reach mach 2.
So off we went. Buck Lowery told us what every old Six driver
knew about mach 2....you could not get there unless you found
-60 OAT somewhere between 35,000 and 45,000 feet. The six
had an analog OAT readout you could select on the tapes,
all you had to do was climb to 45,000 and watch where the temp
hit the magic number. You did a .5G push over to accelerate and
then leveled off at the magic temperature altitude and the Six did
the rest.
Now, being a fighter pilot, on my first run out over lake Ontario,
I could only find -57 on my climb to altitude. No sweat says I,
what is a few degrees among friends? Just push over a bit more,
dive down a bit further, and you hit mach 2 no sweat. But try as I
could, with combinations of climbs and dives and level accelerations,
best I could get was mach 1.86. After that the IAS went up, the
mach went down, and the skin temperature (the Six also had skin
temperature sensors) heated up...it was time to RTB.
(The skin temperature light was labeled Max Maneuver Limit
and meant that your G-limits were reduced by a third. The skin was
so hot that if you pulled too hard, when the wings flexed, they might
not flex back all the way. Youd see it on most high altitude mach
runs and down at Tyndall on the ACMI chasing F-4s below 10K)
Next day I found -63 on the way up, pushed over and accelerated at
39,000
and -63 and the Six just kept on going. Redline that day based on the
Delta Darts
computer was somewhere around 2.08 although the flight manual listed an
arbitrary 2.0 as the upper limit. So I hit mach 2 and maybe a bit more
that day.
(This is my story and Im sticking with it)
To this day I still chuckle when I recall asking Boston Center for
a ground
speed check and the way the radio lit up with comments from the airlines
on what type of aircraft was making 1200+ knots. I keyed the mike and
replied, Just a run-of-the-mill Delta Dart. Still the worlds fastest
single engine

Hi Chuck,
I posted a drawing on photoshare and it must have worked cause George saw it.
I have not drilled any legs with this method but I have used it on all kinds
of applications where you have a pre drilled tube that you slide something
into and then have to redrill w/o egging out all the holes. It really helps to
make two of these so you can drill a smaller dia first and then a larger dia
second. First used this type of jig on my soapbox derby car in 1966. If
something works, Stick with it. Happy drilling.

Hi Kolbers,
I began making the rudder hinges for the Kolbra and the plans call for the top
hinge to be 9" long and the bottom to be 15".
This sound right to you guys?
