    Chilton DW1 Build

    Been away for a while house shopping. Was hoping I’d end up with a 2 car workshop but looks like I’ll be staying in another shoebox. The build continues!

    Chilton DW1 Build

    The summer heat seems to have let up so I’m back to work. I’ve slowly worked on the wing attach fittings during the course of the year. Scrapped a bunch of aluminum and had a few motivation sucking events, but I’m happy to say the wing fittings are all done and everything fits very nicely.

    Build area tips and advice

    I’m building in a single car garage. Cleanliness and organization are essential in a space this size(not that I’m particularly good at it). I like small tables on wheels. Keeping the floor clear is very important. Use overhead air hose and electrical reels. Lastly, nothing is worse than being...

    In the latest video Peter learns about breaking in brake pads. His videos would be more entertaining if Ron Howard were narrating

    Chilton DW1 Build

    Back with another update. Took about a month off after screwing up the location of my outboard wing attach fitting holes. Got that all fixed and we’re back on track now. Just finished mounting the stbd spars. Port side is next and after that I can think about skinning the center section.

    Chilton DW1 plans?

    The VW is a bit heavy for the Chilton but will do if necessary. The PERFECT engine IMO will be the Pegasus 0-100 once it’s ready. That’s what I’ll be putting on the nose of mine assuming it’s in production

    Raptor Composite Aircraft

    Did he seriously not realize that a cockpit operable fuel cut-off valve is required? He's a CFI? Someone oughta check that he's installed a pitot tube

    Slice & Dice time

    It looks like he was tapping his helmet, maybe some sort of emergency signal. To me it seemed like it jumped off the ground faster than expected and the pilot then chopped the throttle initiating rapid descent and starting a feedback loop similar to PIO. Pure speculation of course.. Looks...
