    Subject: Solidworks Licensees?
    From: "Greg Young" <gyoung@cs-sol.com>
    I've got a Solidworks license. I'm using it to design my next project. I'm certainly no expert with it since I only use it intermittently between other projects but it's interface is tolerant of that. It will seemingly do almost anything you could ask. What type of effectiveness are you trying to guage?

    --> RV10-List message posted by: Tim Olson <Tim@MyRV10.com> Paul, Bad timing, as I'm heading out the door to SNF in 23 minutes, but here's a quick answer..... I re-engineered the EAA CH 1000 tables for myself. I worked out the sizes to come up with as little waste as I could, and designed them so that I'd have something like an 8' and a 4', and then I even made a similar almost 4' one later on with some scrap. I think I may even have a building supplies list. I didn't keep really any of the dimensions the same, but came up with a plan that gave little waste, and the 2 main benches are the same height exactly so it makes one nice long bench most of the time. If you can remind me next week, I'll dig for the plans if you wish. I may even have a link to them on my site in one of the earliest pages.

    From: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com>
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Condrey, Bob (US SSA)" <bob.condrey@baesystems.com> I started out thinking that a person really needed something more than 3x8' so I built a 12x3' along a wall before starting the emp kit. It became clear when working on the wings that a 3x8 with access to all sides was better. I'm now moving the fuselage off that table and on to something low profile with castering wheels to have better access to the interior. Bottom line: 3x8' is fine for building any of the kit sections. It is very helpful to have another table/bench to put plans/tools/supplies on.

    Subject: RE: Work tables
    -0.33 ALL_TRUSTED Did not pass through any untrusted hosts I just built 2 of the EAA-1000 2x5 tables. I think you are right, that they are too small, but unless you are willing to buy 2 sheets of plywood, that's the size you'll build. I modified the plans slightly to give a lip on each end for easier clamping. I think they will be fine for much of the work, but I am also building a 3x8, which goes up against the hanger wall under a 4x8 pegboard. If you're going to build a couple of small tables and don't mind the extra sheet of plywood, I would definitely build bigger, if you have the room. Maybe 3x6. John Jessen

    Subject: Re: Work tables
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Rick <ricksked@earthlink.net> Paul, I have three of the EAA 1000 tables, one strictly for power tools. All of them are on wheels. I am almost doen with the wings and they have worked fine, I didn't feel like re-engineering the wheel so I used them. I'm building in a standard 20 x 20 garage and wheel the tables around as needed. So far so good and I have been able to keep one car in the garage (overnight) since I started, but then I'm insanely organized some say to a fault ;). Of course that will change when the fuse gets here. I also used Tim Olson wing stand which has helped to keep the wings stored and it is also on wheels to move out of the way if needed.

    Subject: Re: Work tables
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "John Hasbrouck" <jhasbrouck@woh.rr.com> Paul, I built the EAA tables with a few mods. They are 2X4 feet. 1: I too made an overhang of about 1/2 inch on two edges for clamping. 2: On the other two edges I attached a cleat so I can add extensions ( think leaves on a dining table ) held on with drywall screws. This way the tables can be modified to any length or width I need. Also the main tables are small enough to move out of my workspace and transported easily. 3: Out of 2 X 8 wood I built a frame that is dimensioned so that it can be clamped between the tables, rests on the floor, and holds the C-frame at the correct height above the table top for dimpling. No need to build a dimpling table. I place a piece of kitchen carpet scrap on the tables to hold the metal shavings and keep from scratching the skins. 3: All of these pieces have levelers on the legs from Woodcraft to account for uneven floors and allowing me to level the table top. Again, all this easily transportable which for me is important.....john John Hasbrouck 40264 Wings on order

Putting two 2x6's end-to-end give one the 12 feet for the horiz stab. As I didn't build wings (fast build lazy approach), I don't know if one needs more bench for that.

    Subject: Solidworks Licensees?
    From: "Greg Young" <gyoung@cs-sol.com>
    Solidworks is great with the fits and clearances stuff and all the general design tasks. You can slice and dice the model to see anything you want. As someone else mentioned, getting a source of models or libraries of engines could be a problem. My project uses an M-14P. So far I've built a crude model of it by importing a 3-view drawing and modeling over it. It's fine for layout and CG issues but I'll have to get more detailed when I get to the mount and cowling. I wouldn't plan on using the built in COSMOS for the mount stress analysis. It's a lite version that only likes single parts, not assemblies. I plan on external stress analysis for most parts. I bought SW planning to do the entire aircraft in it. If you have access to it it should work great for your project but it would be an expensive solution to buy for only that.

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Rene Felker" <rene@felker.com> OK, I cann't help but to chime in. I have one 4X8 table that a friend built for me in the 80's, I also have a workbench along the wall that is 2X8 that I have my power tools on. I also have two standard folding tables I got from Sam's that I move around as I see fit. The most versatile thing I got and which helps me the most when I am by myself is an adjustable stand with a ~10" roller on top. It worked great on the tailcone assembly which I am almost done with. I get my wing kit this month.......so my experience is limited, but this setup worked great for me.

    Subject: Re: air compressor
    --> RV10-List message posted by: Dj Merrill <deej@thayer.dartmouth.edu> In case anyone is curious, I made the decision and ordered the air compressor today from Campbell Hausfeld. I went with the VT6315 model, also sold under the Husky brand name at Home Depot. Cast iron, oil lubricated, 135 PSI max, 6.6/5.8 SCFM @ 40/90, 26 gallon, upright with wheels. They claim 82dBa, which is the quietest one that I could find that met the minimum specs. It will also do 120 or 240 volts which is a decent option to have. $339 for a factory refurb unit if you order from them direct, $56 s/h, 1 yr warranty (http://www.chpower.com/). All in all I think I did okay, and I GREATLY appreciate all of your help in making the selection. Plus I've gained a great education about air compressors in the last few days... *grin* -Dj -- Dj Merrill deej@thayer.dartmouth.edu "TSA: Totally Screwing Aviation"

    Subject: Solidworks Licensees?
    Hi John: Looks like everyone has already chimed in with qualified responses. Like said, I am not aware of any databases with that sort of info. Our use is primarily for designing 3-D models for tooling build. We import a lot of very complex aircraft data from engine builders (turbine blades and vanes) that we in turn manufacture for the engine primes (GE, RR, Pratt, etc..) one of our local tool shops imports the data and runs CNC machines for the tooling build. Very good for that application. For a FEA or heat transfer program, something like Pro-E or Unigraphics may be a better match. We have done some 3-D solidification modeling through our sister plant in Ohio - but the price for that type equipment is probably 8X the actual Solidworks cost. Not a vary good payback unless you are in the business. Good luck investigating, Byron -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of John W. Cox Subject: RE: RV10-List: Solidworks Licensees? I am trying to design a modified composite cowl, design an improved engine mount and not cook the composite on the exhaust stacks. Was wondering if there is a source for engine dimensions to tackle the weight and arm issues of a redesign? I know nothing of the library of existing files. Greg Cole lives nearby for the aeronautical input.

I'm using it to design my next project. I'm certainly no expert with it since I only use it intermittently between other projects but it's interface is tolerant of that. It will seemingly do almost anything you could ask. What type of effectiveness are you trying to guage?

    Subject: Re: Work tables
    Thanks for all the replies on this. I have a bit of thinking to do but I'm leaning towards the 5' tables now for the reason you cite below. I like the idea of putting them on wheels and I like the mods discussed. [We'll see if I get the time in the next month to get on this. Another idea I'm kicking around is getting my commercial cert done now - doesn't look like a lot of work now that I have the instrument and the required hours and after the complex endorsement I want to do anyway.] Wishin' I was at SnF, ~Paul Tail & Wing (Slow) kits ordered On Apr 13, 2005, at 1:59 PM, Jay Brinkmeyer wrote: > --> RV10-List message posted by: Jay Brinkmeyer > <jaybrinkmeyer@yahoo.com> > > I built two of those tables and have found them to be very sturdy and > useful. > The 5' length is better, in my opinion, because it allows one to > change the > configuration as needed. > > Regards, > Jay > Finishing up wings > > > From: Paul Folbrecht <paul.folbrecht@veribox.net> > Subject: RV10-List: Work tables > > --> RV10-List message posted by: Paul Folbrecht > <paul.folbrecht@veribox.net> > > What are people doing for work tables?
