Hello Gardiner,
You are welcome to call me. (330) 429-5265. If I can't answer right away just
leave me a message and I'll get back to you. I don't have the jig right now
and without seeing it in front of me it's kind of hard to figure but you might
be able to mount your fuselage attach lugs on the outside of the fixture rails
to get the 26". Not real sure though. I think Fred Kim has it near Pittsburgh
right now.

Have been welding tabs all over the fuselge. Just finished the ones that will
allow me to fasten horiz stab on and couldnt resist clamping tail pieces in place
for a photo op. If curious, the airframe, floor, and cockpit controls as you

I do have it Don. After a long build hiatus from having a child and a career change
we are finally back at it. We actually have tubing in the jig right now
and should be done with the jig shortly. I see no reason why one couldn't use
spacers on the outside of the rails to make a wider mount. Once we are done I
would gladly deliver the jig or meet whoever is next in line as I'm always looking
for a place to fly.

Steve; back to your question (and the observation offered by Tools)- it should
not change the toe-in/out geometry when you load the cockpit, so you shouldn't
need to check it with you or anybody else sitting in the airplane but it wouldn't
hurt, either. It will change the track and camber, obviously.
I flew Scout for one summer season with washers, not proper shims, correcting the
toe-in/out on one axle because it was not straight. That's not the proper
way to do it, but you can at least fiddle with thin or thick washers (or put one
on the belt sander to get it right)- and find the necessary shim thickness
and angle you need if you have Cessna type axles with the 4-bolt mount pads.
Please recognize that washers are not the proper way to correct the situation
though ;o)

Hi Guys. I need some advice. I have a commercial type band saw that uses a 93
inch blade. It is really for wood, but I have slowed it down with a jack shaft
I made, and it is slow enough now. I tried to rip some .100 4130 and it quickly
ruined my blade. Is this not going to work. I need to come up with some
way to make this thing work.
I've been making some progress on my fuselage and hopeing to finish
it by spring then move on to the wing when time allows

I find my 4 1/2 angle grider with cutoff disc works great. I have a second grinder
with a sanding disc to clean up edges. Many fittings can be made by first
buying strip steel of correct width to reduce cuts needed.

Make a table for better control.
This one, along with a 5" vise, is mounted atop a
restaurant table base. It can be rolled around the
same as a55 gal drumor barrel. With one foot on
it it's solid. Make the table hieght the same as the
top of the vise jaws.
Although these pics aren't great I'm sure guys-
who-build-Piets can figure it out. :-)

It matters not what things have been.
It only matters what they become.

I've cut a LOT of steel, mild up to 3/4", 4130 up to 1/4" on 14" bandsaws slowed
down to correct metal cutting speeds...
So they'll do it. What kind of blade are you running? Mine are generally around
14 tpi, maybe less.
How slow have you got it to run with your jack shaft? I'll go double check mine,
but it's pretty slow. It's a triple gear reduction. Doing it with pulleys
is generally pretty tough. It's a VERY small pulley running a LARGE pulley,
a couple of times.
I suspect your blade is going to fast. I imagine my wheels are going somewhere
around 60 rpm at the fastest. My 20" saw goes around 30 rpm.
