Scratch Building A Midget Mustang: Part 4, March 27 2024
Ғылым және технология
This is todays progress on my Midget Mustang Experimental Airplane Build. I an going over some shop items and finishing the last of the bulkheads. I am doing these videos for a couple of reasons, the first is to help act as my builders log, but also because there doesn't seem to be much actual video documentation of the actual parts build and assembly of the Midget Mustang. This is a new build and I will balance my time between this and finishing up the Zenith although I will document the projects separately.I hope you find something usefull here. Enjoy.

This is my rivet gun of choice, but it apparently has been discontinued.
Below is a replacement which from appearance and color is the exact same rivet gun with a different name'
Heavy Duty Air Riveter amzn.to/3agkhzl
Chicago Pneumatic 1/4" Air Drill amzn.to/2lhF7ij
Also discontinued, they now make this drill with a composite body but the reviews are terrible so I cannot recomend it. I am searching for a comparable replacement.

Mate, I can’t believe you’ve decided to do this blog. I literally started my own Midget Mustang build a few weeks ago. Scratch building just like you. This is aircraft number 5 for me, and a bucket list aircraft for nearly 40 years. Cheers to you from Queensland Australia. I’ve subscribed and will be following you. Ken

Hi Ken: How far along are you? It has been on my list for years but always been something in the way. I’m doing the final fitting on bulkhead 73.75 now and should have it riveted together in the next week or so. Good luck with it. Thanks, Dan.
Uhh, what plastic material are you using for templates?? This is very interesting.

I layout all my patterns on mylar as it is stable when glued to my wood or mdf patterns, if you try and use regular paper it will stretch when you try and glue it and not give an accurate form.. Dan.

@@hillsgun yeah sorry,, I found the materials and process in your play list. My dream always was to build full size airplanes but life ,work and marriage didn't,t allow it. I scratched that itch by building, from kits, plans and three views radio control airplanes and the challenge was making accurate parts! My dream full size is a Mustang II. I saw Larry Kinder s scratch built plane at Osh Kosh 1979 or 80. Grand champ that year!! I,m a biplane nut also. In my dreams I,d love to do a Hatz classic. So many airplanes,, so little time!
