I see the web site is having some problem, I haven't gotten to the root of the problem but will work on it. I think it should be back up in a couple of days...
Are the rans attach brackets, 4 on the the a-frame and I believe on the wings, fabricated by the builder or do you order them from a manufacturer. It...
Order the attach brackets from Rans by phone: 785-625-6346 (see p1 of materials list). You might as well go thru the entire material list and order them all at...
The plans call for an AN4 (1/4 inch) bolt to hold the LE brackets and a-frame "ears" to the root tube. Is it OK to use an AN5 (5/16) instead? The Rans SU-158...
I have downloaded the drawings -- thanks Jim -- but can't get a good mental image of the how the tailplane is configured, specifically with how the horizontal...
Gordon, the elevator and horz. stab are both separate pieces, the elevator uses a separate control arm for each half and both control arm (linkage) come...
Thanks Scotty, that is fine to use 5/16 AN5 bolt and if you are using that bracket there that is the right decision. Jim H. ... From: Scotty Orr To:...
Thanks, Jim. I found the pictures in the photos section, appropriately enough. They are a big help in visualazing how the plane goes together. I will probably...
Hi Jim (and all), I'm about to install the fuel platform (and do some other things that are directly tied to the location of the CG on Poorboy. I've had some ...
Scotty, I am setting the initial seat position this weekend and would like to know this also. Datum location is described vaguely as "aft of main wheels"...
Rich, The place I found the information on the center of lift (pressure) was on a mailing list for the Flitzer Goblin (which uses the 35B airfoil). It was ...
Scotty, Yes, that's what I needed, thank you very much. Surprised to see such a wide range but maybe that comes with the somewhat gentle stall it's noted for....
Rich, you should count the width of the ailerons in the chord length (especially full span ailerons). If your ailerons don't span full width, then I think you...
Scotty, I don't intend to add ailerons until later if at all. And after listening to the Kolb guys, Mark Smith, and other fart smellas would never consider...
I would also like to have a view at them - i have been making some scratchings on the comp but nothing really decisive - anybody got more info for me and then...
Bradley, using the drawings for the pb-H as a base make the LE spar 3" x .085 x 30ft long, the rear spar 2 1/2" x .065 (or .085) x 30ft long. the cord can...
Alternative Engines - Geo/Suzuki If you are interested in alternative engines for experimental aircraft you are invited to join the flyGeo_uncensored group and...
Guys, this David James posts this same message all over the Yahoo groups. Comes darn close to spam if you ask me.. Moderator..please ban this person. Thanks...
Stan, Personally I found this "spam" quite useful. The Geo-uncensored group is far more informative and entertaining than the censored one and a hell of a lot...
Jim. Thought so, but gotta admit 60' span would be nice. With a little tow and the right thermals we wouldn't need any engine! Seriously though, 16' might be...
but where to find 3"o.d.x.085 ,,,6061t6 tubing ? albert ... From: "Rich Smith" <megamvs@...> To: <poorboy@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, August 13,...
Rich, 16ft a common tube length? I hadn't seen 16' tubes but a 32' wing span could be done as well as 30' if that what a person wanted. Jim ... From: Rich...
Albert. This is just a guess of possible tubes, but your right I don't see 3" x .085 but 3"x.065 is common; aircraft spruce has 4 1/2x.120", all kinds of...
I don't know if 6063-T6 would be appropriate for a spar but I got my boom tube from these guys: http://www.globaltecheng.com/alutubing.htm They have 3x.083,...
I had 16' tubes shipped freight from Dillsburg and car-topped from the local branch of Pierce because it gave me more efficient materials usage than 12'. I...
