I updated the website with new pics of the rear fuse parts, plus some others as well. Am starting to work on the lower rear fuse now, hopefully this will go...
... algiecompositeaircraft@yahoogroups.com, "algiecompositeaircraft" ... now, ... Looks great. Building the interior frame you described sounds like quite a...
I originally got the bug to do this in 1993, and did mostly concept and design work for a couple of years. A lot of that was learning to draw in 3D CAD as...
If I came out to help, maybe it could be a full time effort (at least for me.) Also, I'd like you to consider adding a refrigerant compressor on one of the ...
Actually, I forgot to add, this plane has very little so called frames or stiffening structures in it. The one pic of the vertical tail spar, this, and the...
This project is based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have considered an air conditioner for this thing, I like it, I'm not very excited about the weight and extra...
I don't have any questions. I found your web-site and was quite impressed. If you can achieve or get close to the estimated cruise speed and fuel efficiancy...
Thanks, I hope the numbers prove out too. Closer weight assessments lately have dropped the gross down quite a bit, this has helped all the performance figures...
Work has been progressing on the lower rear fuselage. The buck, or wood plug, is the focus right now for that. Considerable attention has been paid to the...
I actually have never calculated max speed at sea level, the lift at this low altitude is so high (In dense air) that you have to use maybe negative 3 degrees...
No, it's not just you, I can't get in either, I'll find out. Thanks, David Algie Algie Composite Aircraft http://members.iquest.net/~aca/ ... From: masofshad ...
Sorry, the website went over it's alotted usage for the month, new month, back up now. David Algie Algie Composite Aircraft http://members.iquest.net/~aca/ ......
It doesen't look like much, but I added a pic of the lower rear fuselage buck under construction. You can see the rear wing fillets tapering down on the upper...
I didn't want to develop an engine package to begin with. I chose the Lycoming TSIO 540 as the engine for this aircraft. Considering the new price of this...
Very interesting. While most of us are aware of the improvements in the LS-1 "reverse" cooling system, I have not personaly seen the increased wear in actual ...
Bit of a strange problem, I don't think it's from the water temp variations though, I'm not too familiar with the 4.6 Ford engine, it's probably like a lot of...
... I know of modern engines that gets quite annoying piston noise when they go over 0.0008! Probably due to piston design, rather than wear issues. Regards, ...
Just an add on to the engine post, when I decided to use a small block, and eventually the LS1, I ALSO didn't want to develop a redrive box either. I got specs...
I'm aware that factory clearance for a Ford 4.6L V8 with cast pistons is .0008" to .001", and they are indeed of a modern slipper design. I'm not talking ...
If you think about it, cooler cylinders are just that; the cylinder is cooler, thus has less clearance, the piston not quite picking up all the heat transfer...
I added a pic on the ACA website of the lower rear fuselage buck, progress has been slow to report but this has taken some time to get going! (Had to buy...
May I respectfully suggest reposting all pictures to the Files section of this Group? By doing so the resolution available to members goes way up. Right now...
