Subject: | Moving Axle Centerline |
Having read the Wynne articles in the BPA newsletter concerning landing
gear and CG location where he cautions builders not to have the landing
gear aft of the wing leading edge, I have the following questions: My
fuselage is already built with the white ash cross struts on the floor
bottom. I am planning on using the split axle gear with hydraulic
brakes. How can I move the axle forward and still use the same fuselage
mounting gear location for the landing gear? Can I shorten the forward
landing gear tube and lengthen the rear tube? Am I missing something?

Get Hoffman to send the design to Mike Perez (karetakeraero.com). I
bet he's got the guts to do it.

I dont think he has the guts to follow through, though:-0

Tim:
The fuselage attach points need to remain in the same locations as that is
where the bracing structure is designed to accept the loads. I am just
about to do the same thing that you are suggesting, i.e. shorten the front
tube and lengthen the back one. This will actually mean that the front
tube is transmitting more of the load to the front fuselage attachment
point than before due to the change in moment arm but that has apparently
not been a problem for others who have done this.

That's what I did with my split gear, moved the axle 3" forward from the
plans location. Haven't flown yet so I can't say if its good or bad.

I just can't help my self. We pushed it out this afternoon. Gary Boothe you will
be proud of me. I built the jury struts 100% from poplar.....really it is from
a tulip tree I sawed on my homemade sawmill about 25 or 30 years ago. It looks
just like poplar.

Subject: | Rolling Steel Marbles in My Left Hand |
As most of you recall, I posted a picture of what I thought was a completed
set of ribs. Jack Phillips unceremoniously pointed out that I was two ribs
short. Knowing that he would never intentionally disconcert the masses, upon
reading his post (Could it be?), I ran downstairs in a panic to the garage
to recount. I counted that stack 3 times, but the number never changed,
and, upon closer inspection, found Ribs #17 & 18 missing. The offending ribs
now sit atop the stack.
As to the two missing ribs themselves, mistakenly, and in haste, I quickly
blamed Jim Markle.that was wrong.
Upon more careful consideration, I can now prove, with irrefutable logic and
mathematics, that it was the Mess Steward who took the ribs! There must have
been a duplicate key, which I can also prove, but I am surrounded by
incompetence, as evidenced by the fact that numerous Piet builders have been
to my house, and no one has told me I was missing #'s 17 & 18. Had I been
allowed more time I could prove that there is a duplicate key to my house
(rolling steel marbles in my left hand)..well, of course, I'll be happy to
answer any further questions.

He is a Yorkshire terrier 8 months old. We had an outdoor rat and mouse problem
before "ABE" came on the scene. PETA would not like him. He kills every one he
can find.
