The Diary of a Turb Re-Build

[Tony Mabelis]

I'm impressed with your project, well done!!

Two observations:-

I like the rubber blocks incorporated in the tailplane attachments bolts, as I remember that in my youth at the Tiger Club, Redhill Aerodrome, that these bolts would come loose in the summer time, allowing the tailplane to move slightly.
If you were to pinch them up a little at this time, then in the winter they would crush the structure as the wood expanded.

Secondly............the tyres you have selected are not very suitable for an aircraft, you will likely find that the tread patern will cause the wheels to 'windmill' in the airflow, causing vibration.
Rollasons fitted nice aerodynamic ribbed tread pattern jobs, as fitted to high speed wheel barrows!!
Keep up the good work!
