Hi everyone
My fuse is coming along great but I have a couple of questions.
Where the plans call for a 3/16 hole for the cabane fittings is that for a AN3
bolt?
When fitting the tail the rear most horizontal stab fittings under the stab do
you use one bolt to go right through both fittings and do I need some sort of
shim to square things up because of the fuse angle?
Or maybe a better question is how do I fit the tail fittings to the fuse?
Thanks
Carson

For what it's worth.
If you haven't visited www.bowersflybaby.com you are missing out. The
flybaby is a wood airplane and uses the same engines we use. One of my
favorite sections is Harry Fenton's section on engines. A must read if
your not an A & P. Most of our engine questions are answered and if
their not, he will answer them.
Lots of great building, clothing, flying and general information for
those of us that build, maintain, fly or just love open cockpit wooden
planes.

Hey everybody,
Got the engine mounted finally and am starting to connect things up and
finish all the little things on the fuse.
My question is this.
For those of you finished, when did you paint the fuselage in the process?
It seems to make sense to get everything fabricated and assembled, then
disassemble and paint but that seems like it might be uncecessary work. I
could paint the fabric now, but I'm afraid of messing it up as everything is
fitted and affixed etc.
Also, if I plumb for my wing tank, do I do it with the sheet metal off for
easier access, and if so, can you get the sheet metal down over the fuel
lines sticking up from the fuse?
Appreciate any tips.
Douwe

I painted the individual tail pieces, fuselage and wing sections after
assembling everthing once, and then taking the plane apart. It was easier to
do pieces and I knew everthing fit together--Jim Lagowski

Hi all
After posting this question I finally found the answers 3/16=an3
A found some pictures on west coast Piet of Santiago Morete's and realised how
stupid I really am to have not of thought to do it that way.
