I took the EAA "Sheetmetal basics," at Watsonville, California the first part of this year. I'm sure glad I did. By the time I completed the workshop, when I ...

All sounds like sterling advice, but is not how I'd go about it. Before getting too involved in measuring dihedral and stabilzer offset, or leading edge radii,...

For some reason, I assumed this was an incomplete project. If it is a
flying airplane, then of course a test flight would speak volumes. Mark Supinski...
Tom, You're using the same station of 47.75 at firewall as I used. To check the tank datum station numbers, I checked weight with and with out fuel in each ...

It's my understanding that stations must be physically measured. Am I missing something? How do you calculate a station? Mark N715MB ... Tom, You're using...

I've got a project that I'm attempting to complete. The previous owner had put the wings on, and in doing so has oversized at least one of the fuselage wing...
You should get the bolts from Mustang Aero. And there are ISSUES. Those four bolts hold the wings on. Expect to pay at least $20.00 EACH and be thankful for...
The wing attach bolts that are provided by Mustang Aero are NAS high strength with internal hex and beveled heads. The fit should be snug enough that there...
Thank you Wayne for stating the obvious and not answering the question... Having not tried to install the wings, I have no idea if the internal hex head is...
Thanks Rick, that was most helpful if I go with the bolts with the internal hex...is this style of bolt peculiar to the NAS series, or is this head something...
Al, id stick with the NAS, even if you have access to a grade 8, 9 whatever, thing with NAS bolt, there all inspected and have much tighter tolerences than...
I'd say NO to the "standard head" bolt. I don't think it's because of a space limitation or ease of installation, rather the desire for the best strength. The...
The oversize NAS bolts that Chris supplies have the standard hex head. I just got an email from him. I may go that route and ream everything when I get the...
One thing I have experienced with the grade 8/9 bolts is they seem to be more brittle than either AN or NAS bolts. I have substituted the NAS bolts in a high...

Correct me if I'm wrong. I've built race cars that I replaced all the grade 8 bolts with Aircraft AN bolts. The reason I did this, is probably the same reason ...
Al, I really don't think the head type should be an issue. I have the folding wing option and it doesn't use bolts at all. Mine uses NAS pins with hex heads...
