 Posted: Sat Sep 16, 2006 8:35 pm Post subject: 701 Upper Elevator Horn |
 |
|
Fellow 701 builders;
I am currently working on finishing up the elevator, and I am trying to
figure out the upper elevator horn, part number 7H5-1. First of all, I
don't believe that it is drawn correctly when looking at the "top" view. I
cannot figure out how far in to taper the front of the horn (the dashed line
with the work "cut" in the drawings) Could someone help me understand this?
I hope I am explaining this enough. I will try to scan an image in if
necessary. Thanks in advance.
Ryan

While I didn't scratch build the horns, they did cause me a large amount of trouble. Here are all my notes from the elevator build:

While not a direct answer to your issue, hopefully you can avoid the same mistakes I made.
Good luck!

Hi Ryan:
I was just working on the same part last evening. I have
noticed that none of the angles shown on the Zenith
drawings are very precise. Part of the learning experience
I suppose! The way I generated the angle for the "cut" on
the part was as follows. After locating the upper horn on
the elevator I made a mark where the rivet flange aligned
with the front edge of the spar. Then I measured 20mm as is
shown on the drawing along the flange, make a line at right
angles across the flange. Where this line meets the curve
of the vertical is where the bottom of the "cut" is
located. Draw a line from this position to the 12mm radius
indicated on the drawings. Then bandsaw and file to shape.
Hope this helps. Call me at 303-648-3261 if you need more
help.

John, thanks for your reply. It looks like that is the only way to do it,
as the required information is missing. It makes me feel better to hear the
way other people have done it. Thanks!
