I managed to fit the fuselage into the shed 'the wrong way round' and rig the tail inside. Four new cable tangs were needed; once made, the tailplanes were fitted without difficulty.

You,re the man! Scratch building a flying bathtub!

@FlyingForFunTrecanair Месяц назад

Yes, quite a foolish endeavour. Most of the fuselage was built in a villa in Abu Dhabi!

@@russellesimonetta9071 I’m collecting the spars next week. Ribs and lots of metalwork done, I hope to start assembling them next year.

Thanks for all your hard work Nick, I look forward to more in 2024.

Wholly attributable to the late Humphrey Lyttleton 🙂

Just shows the effort and time it takes to craft a good ship. Always enjoy the videos, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas Nick

Merry Christmas Lloyd 👍

Have a great Christmas yourself and family. Not sure if it was due to camera angle but I thought the the camber of the tailplane ribs was greater on the underside than on the top. If this is the case it was a detail that I was unaware of, if so, presumably done so tht the tailplane does not need so much negative incidence with regard to the main wing incidence.

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

Well spotted! The inner (longer) steel tube rib is slightly cambered. It is only slight and I can't tell, from looking at my C3, whether the curve should be on the top or bottom. The leading edge attachment has three positions to adjust the tailplane incidence. Also, the tailplanes are not 'handed' so they can be swopped around if necessary. Hopefully a test hop will ascertain the most suitable setting.

Glad it worked out!

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

Much easier done in the shed, although a tight squeeze!

@wellbraehome9896 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Nick - great to see the broad gauge track anvil. I have 2 similar devices, one offcut from the East Coast mainline, and the other from the old CPR in Canada! Like you, if I spot something lying about that may be of use one day, I ‘tidy’ it away to my workshop to help out. Best wishes for Christmas and 2024 to you.

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. Two of my doorstops are other pieces of railway track. Useful stuff although b. heavy to carry far.

Merry Christmas….thanks for all the great videos. Got a lead on an Aeronca 65 TAC.

Terrific, keep us all posted 👍

Are those tree trunks embedded in the walls of your shop? Do you know what species they are? Here in Virginia, they would get eaten by termites in short order! Great video. The weather here is supposed to be good for the next couple of days so I will be flying my Aeronca Champ and thinking of your C3.

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

They are lengths of redundant telephone pole. Pressure treated in creosote, we don’t have termites, thankfully 🙂

Merry Christmas to you. Maybe someone will offer a stash of E113 parts at a great price to you.

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

Father Christmas is welcome to try stuffing Aeronca parts down the chimney 🤣

@grandpadansfixit2080 5 месяцев назад

Another fun show! Thanks!! I am curious though as to why you reference inch based measurements?? I am just an old slow farm boy but I thought England was metric or even Whitworth foolery years back??? Merry Christmas to all!! Dan

@mikeadams7829 5 месяцев назад

Many of us older people still tend to think in real numbers !

@FlyingForFunTrecanair 5 месяцев назад

England is traditionally imperial and we still use statute miles for distance. Measurements can be imperial or metric; old machines are usually imperial. The metric system comes from mainland Europe, along with cowards and communists 🤣 Screw threads can be Whitworth, Unified or Metric. Interestingly, the American Aeronca E113 engine has Unified and Metric threaded components and the British version, known as the JAP J99, has the same plus Whitworth too! I tend to avoid anything metric as it reminds me of the French.
