    T-bird Project for sale

    My lack of patients has finally gotten the better of me... Some of you may remember my posts of my plans to build this airplane and get it flying but a friend of mine made a offer I can not refuse on another airplane. I am $2k short so $2k is the asking price. Wings damaged in transport so wing...

    Hey guys, Sorry Ive been at a trade show in Tampa this week and not been able to get on here that much. My friend that works with me talked with Indy Aircraft (new owners of the T-bird) and I will be getting the brackets, parts and support I need from them. Solo, the cross bar will be...

    Tubing attachment hardware

    Good new is I found the brackets, Bad news is they are with the new owners of the design of the T-bird (Indy Aircraft). This means I have to send them $1,200 as a deposit and they give me new control cables,manual, and tech support over the airframe along with $700 credit towards parts...

    Solo, I appreciate it tremendously. As for the bracket locations my wings are still original and just in bad shape (dents and dings) so the wing location will not be hard to find based on the current setup. -Rob

    Solo, Sent you a message but if you didnt get it my email is the same as my screen name at gmail. Thanks again for any help you can provide. This is a fun project and will be well worth the hair I loose in the next few months... ;)

    T-Bird 1 rebuild

    It's a T-bird alright(atleast 3/4 of it ;), just was modified to a trike and your right on the cross bar. We believe the aircraft never flew with it because the wings wouldnt even mount with it. We have removed most of the parts that were "after market" including the cross bar and restored it to...

    Thank gentlemen these are alternatives Ive been looking for. Something that is used out there currently and proven! I will run these by the AE and make sure the work for my design.

    Tubing attachment hardware

    Dana, I guess I will look over there. I think I will search for an alternative attachment method. Everyone else has to use something else if these are not available so what is it? -Rob

    Tubing attachment hardware

    Dana, I need to reconstruct the wings and some of the brackets are damage/missing so reusing them is not an option unless I can find replacements. If I can find the replacements I will order them. If not I need to come up with an alternative to them so that I can maintain the geometry of...

    Tubing attachment hardware

    Dana, 1000lbs! lol yeah definitely a lot more than the cost of the entire airplane. Thanks for the info. While I do have all the machinery available to fabricate pieces like these I will NOT attempt it. I will seek an alternative method of attachment. Any recommendation?

    Tubing attachment hardware

    Well its actually from an engineering perspective its a good design. The fabric pulls in on the saddles seating them on the leading and trailing tubes and the rivets just keep them in place until the fabric is slid over the wing. Now the tubes between the lead and trailing tubes (small ones in...

    Hey Richard, Thanks for the info. Havent thought of the Kawasaki engine. I truely have desided on a 4 stroke engine though and just cant delete the post. -Rob

    Tubing attachment hardware

    No disrespect to anyone commenting I just have a hard time believing these dont exist in some use somewhere. There are two different sizes of this attachment mechanism on my wings and it is very obvious the person that originally assembled the wings was not very attentive to details so the...

    1000 of them would still make that an astronomical cost... Probably more than the airplane itself.

    With some of the things the person that built it did I highly doubt he was willing to have a die made. They certainly have to be out there for something... -Rob

    Does anyone know where to find the brackets like the one below in the picture? Maybe I am just not searching the right name for them but 2 days of search have revealed nothing.:ermm:

    WYFlyer, While I dont like to reinvent the wheel I dont believe innovation comes from always using what is available. I am intrigued enough by the Generac to make a mix of old and revolutionary. My old Tierra and a new "different" power plant... Thank you for the help and I will contact...
