Scratch Building A Midget Mustang Part 6

Ғылым және технология

This is the latest progress on my Midget Mustang Experimental Airplane Build. Here I am cutting out the wing spar blanks, building a magic washer, and marting out the main bulkhead that the main wing spars attach to. 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'

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.

    I have MM1 Plans, they are hand drawn so I traced them into CAD and noticed inconsistencies between right/left halves of the bulkheads, how did you manage this? Would love to talk.

    Yes there are inconsistencies and it has been noted before.I have 2 sets of M-1 plans, an older, blue print set and a new set and there is no difference between the two. I basically split the difference and will make adjustments as necessary to get a straight and smooth fuselage, don’t overthink it. In cad you can mirror the sides but you will still have no real way of telling which side is correct (if either is) to get the spacing and smooth skin contours along the bulkheads . Dan.

    @@hillsgun Thank you for the reply, Exactly what I am concerned about, spacing between skin and bulkheads. When you apply the skin it generates a cone-ish shape which becomes rigid as you wrap it around the bulkheads and if any of the bulkhead comes up short, it would cause deformation of the skin. How are you dealing with this issue?

    Adjustments will have to be made to the flanges and spacing between bulkheads so they are in the same plane all the way around.
