 Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2011 7:12 am Post subject: Scratch build – Longerons |
 |
|
Please pardon the naiveté of a first-timer… Using the holidays to pour over my newly arrived CH-750 plans I note that the aft-fuselage longerons do not appear to be the garden variety 6061-T6 L-extrusions of some other Zenith designs, but a unique stylistic variant. As attractive as the rounded edges and flush-inset extrusion is, does anyone know of a commonly available alternative…? I have nothing against paying the Zenith price as it seem modest enough, but have been around government procurement far too long to be comfortable with sole-source contracting…
I take the thickness to be nominally 0.050-0.075”, but an L that long is far too long to simply gin up in any bending brake I can afford…
What are the plans/scratch builders doing…?

Thanks Larry, that’s doubtless what I’ll do then… am hoping to take their builders workshop in March, since I’m planning to be nearby anyway, cuz I’m going that way to pick up the makin’s of my engine (Corvair) and some other parts, I may as well as pick up those unique extrusions…
By the way, I’ve learned a lot on your great website – lots of info there… many homebuilders’’ books have far less…
