--> RV9-List message posted by: "Merems" <merems@cox.net>
Fellow RV Builders,
I have developed a new dimpling tool (DRDT-1) that is easier, faster, quieter, and safer (on the skins) then any other tool offered by existing aircraft tool suppliers. I have designed it to accommodate all the skins used in a RV construction including the prebent leading and trailing edge skins and the larger skins used in the RV-10. Please visit ExperimentalAero at www.experimentalaero.com for more information about the DRDT-1, pricing and latest updates. Additionally on this website you will also find innovative tools and components under development for your experimental aircraft project.
10/11/03
(CASA GRANDE, AZ) The DRDT-1 was demonstrated to Ken Krueger (engineering) and
Scott McDaniels (prototype shop) from Van's Aircraft at the Copperstate Fly-in.
Van's prototype shop uses the c-frame impact dimpling tool mounted on a table.
According to Scott, the c-frame is the nosiest tool in the shop and hearing
protection is required when in use. Prior to actually using the DRDT-1 both
were very skeptical about the tool and its ability to dimple as well as the
impact c-frame dimplers on the market. After trying it they both were surprised
at the ease, consistency and quality of the dimpling. In fact Scott, the
most skeptical of all and self proclaimed dimpling snob, only used it a few times
and then requested a unit be sent to Van's prototype shop. With the DRDT-1
the noise level in the prototype shop will be greatly reduced (there is no
noise produced while dimpling with the DRDT-1), not to mention the increase in
speed and consistency of dimpling.
Sincerely,
Paul Merems
