    Pober Pixie Airfoil

    This has been a more of an exercise in; can I recreate/modify something I would like to build/fly? There's a C-90 hanging on the nose in the drawings. Can't watch tv and old cars don't always need worked on.

    Pober Pixie Airfoil

    The wing is skinned with aluminum, why don't the attach points look right? I'm utilizing the TLAR approach at the moment and I didn't do much research, seemed most were just c-channel with something for meat at the cap. I plan on trying one of the EAA spar calculators for loads if that will get...

    Pober Pixie Airfoil

    Dragging up on old thread here LOL! Been working on my Pixie modifications. I wanted to see about using a metal wing on the thing and started a design exercise that I attached. What do you guys think I need to address, or just toss it and forget about it?

    Solidworks question

    Narfi, I see some grey lines in a grid pattern and some curved darker lines. Are you trying to annotate the points at the intersections of the dark lines to the lines in the grid?

    Best decision ever.....JUST DO IT !!!

    I received most of my instruction in Alabama and found a retired CFI as well; he charged me $25/hr plus $50 for the BE77. He was very thorough and at times I thought he had a death wish!

    Best way to fix rust and chipping on powder coating over steel tube?
