Here we go everyone,
My name is Jon and I too have hit the cri cri addiction:gig:!
This will be my first build thread and my first metal airplane build! So anyone with insight, helpful tips, or any other knowledge will be greatly appreciated! I am not going to rush thru this build so no clue on how long this could take but im going to try not to draw it out too long as I really cant wait to get this bird in the air!
Measure twice cut once!
I have started ordering parts and tools and supplies and they have started showing up at my door as of today and tomorrow! Most tools for this build I have been piecing together thru out the last month or so.
The way I plan on going about the build is Start with the horz stab then vert. stab and rudder, then fuse, then wings. Hopefully I can get each part complete before moving on to the next that way it should make things seem easier? lol
here is my list of tools so far to start this build:
Full Plan set and manuals
Brand new 26 gal air compressor with drill, air shear, and drivers
30" sheet metal bending break
Rivet gun (air and hand operated)
**** ton of clamps
6" Bench Vice
Hand electric drill
Full socket set
500 Count 3/32" Clecos
525 Count 1/8" Clecos
Drill bits 1/16" to 1/2" (full set)
48" straight edge
Drum sanders
Standing Drill press
Bench grinder
just to name a few :ban::ban::ban:
