| Subject: | No worry "kitting" for wing |
This subject came up again in another thread....If "kitting" means mass production
of the roughly 15 individual pieces to make a rib, and the gussets, I completed
my entire wing kit in about 4 hours total work. So for any lurkers out
there thinking it takes a bazillion hours, don't fret any longer. By using a
miter saw, and a stop block how long does it take to cut 35 or so identical pieces
of spruce? Rinse lather repeat. A 24" x 8' foot section of 1/16" aircraft
grade ply goes into roughly 20 7/8" (or so) x 8' foot strips in under 5 minutes
with a table saw. Then 10 so of those get taped together and run under the
afore mentioned chop saw to make gussets "masters". The masters get formed
into finish parts using some simple hand tools like a tin snip. You will want
to mark some large baggies to hold your rib pieces and some plastic containers
to hold the 1,100 (+/-) gussets that come from the single sheet of ply. Its
all quite enjoyable too!

I wholeheartedly agree. It is not very difficult or tedious, although my techniques
were a bit different. For the wing rib gussets, I cut them all out with a
2-inch hole saw. Then trimmed with snips to halves or quarters, at the proper
angles, as I used them. Lengths of capstrip were cut to length, then finished
to proper angles (again as I used them) with a 12-inch benchtop disc sander.
Piece of cake.
The most tedious part was in getting only one rib completed per day. I used T-88
and clamping pressure only (no nails). So I could only process one rib overnight
through my rib jig.

| Subject: | setting up a Push to talk intercom |
I have a Micoair with a built in intercom and I have a two way switch
(push down to talk to the person in front and push up two talk to the
world).

Subject: Pietenpol-List: setting up a Push to talk intercom
Hello good people!
I have a sigtronics intercom and would like to set it up with PTT for
intercom, not voice activated. I don't want to spend much money (My wife
says I am cheap, I say I am frugal.)
I want it so that both the pilot and passenger have to push a button to
talk to each other. I would like the passenger to be able to hear my
radio transmissions. I want to install them on the stick.
I have a grip with buttons for both intercom and radio (and bombs,
rockets and guns!) for the pilot. (I have a wood knob that I can drill
out for the passenger.)
How do I hook that up? I do best with pictures.
