Basically will my bolt holes be slightly off and the tail no
longer fit properly?
Yes, the holes will be off a little. You could shim with the number of
fabric layers that will be installed on the fuse, and the stabs, then drill the
holes. Before drilling for the lower rudder hinge, you should also shim with the
number of fabric layers, too.

Peter
As far as adjusting the gear for the loaded condition, I built a Cub (GN-1)
style gear with die springs. I was told after I finished the gear that the
springs should be pre-loaded before finish welding them (loaded by how much
I don't know). Anyhow mine are setup so the wheels are vertical with just
the fuselage and my weight, how it's going to work with the engine and wing
weight I will soon find out.
gday
Rick

Shad,
That's what I did. I'm not sure if there are any changes to the geometry on
Load or No Load conditions. I'm going to measure mine and see what happens.

If my memory serves me correctly, getting the split axles streight shouldn't
be any harder than getting it streight on the strieght axle (wooden gear).
I think what Dad did was get his axles, and a piece of steel tubing that
fit thrugh the inside of the axles, made a jig that was the same as his
fuselage fittings, and welded the axles on the gear legs with the tube
inside the axles. This results in 0 degree toe , streight axles. And after
welding the axles on take the long piece of tubing out of the axles.
1. weld up legs in flat jig (like a steel fuselage)
2. weld pivot points on legs where gear attatches to fuselage
3. make a Mock-up (jig) of bottom of fuselage and bolt the landing gear legs
to it. Jigging it up in the inverted position (as if the airplane was on
it's back) will be

Hey all
My neighbor is principal of a local high school and she has been talking
to me about working with her JROTC students on building a plane at her
school. I pretty much have told her I would do it and am looking at
what to build. Having done 2 Piets already I need something different
now. Has anyone built a Skyscout? I have the Flying Glider manual
plans. I would order a full size set. I am interested in comments on
how it flies and comparisions and whatever.
