Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2007 5:19 am Post subject: 601 XL Materials List

Guys,

  I need a little help with the 601XL materials list I downloaded from the CH601.org page. I'm having a little trouble deciphering it. 

 Is column "A" inches or mm? 

 Column "C" is telling me what? 

 The same for column "Q" and "R". What do they represent?

 

 I hate to be dense but I've never been accused of being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Any help would be appreciated.

                                                                                                                 Kevin R.

                                                                                                              601XL/Corvair

Don’t feel bad I didn’t decipher it either, but my preference is to use something like  

   

http://www.ch601.org/resources/material/hardware/601xl.pdf.zip    

   

This one is far easier to use. Also check the layouts with your version of plans, pieces have changed in thickness. The fuselage side skins are now .025 and the gusset plates have been removed. This is just one example, there are more.

 Column C is the part number on the page (because column B  is only the the page number). For example on line 5 we have "6b1" and "4" making  part number 6B1-4.

  

 Columns Q and R are calculated by formulas based on the  hidden columns I and G. You may have noticed that the columns jumps from "E" to  "N". Columns "F" through "M" are in there. To unhide them you have to select  both column E and N. You can do this by clicking on the "E" (should highlight  the entire column). Then hold down the "Shift" key and click on the "N". At this  point all of columns E and N should be highlighted. Now click with the right  mouse button and you should get a floating pop-up menu. Choose  "unhide"

  

 Now you can see columns:

  

 F - height in mm

 G - height in inches

 H - width in mm

 I - width in inches

 J - length of extrusions, mm

 K - length of extrusions, inches

 L - empty

 M - ???

 N - height in inches with one inch fudge factor added  on

 O - width with one inch fudge factor

  

 The formulas in column Q basically say "if the number in  column I is larger than the number in column G then show the number from column  I. Otherwise show the number in column G". In other words the number in column Q  is the part's maximum dimension in inches. It is formatted to round to the  nearest inch.

  

 The formulas in column R says "if the number in column Q is  greater than 48.1 inches then show the number in column Q. Otherwise show a  blank". In other words if the longest dimension of the part won't fit across the  4 foot length of sheet then show its size in this column.

  

 I'm not sure what column A represents but it appears to be  in inches. It looks like it is some sort of hand-entered running total within a  group of parts.

Craig,

 Thanks, that's what I needed to know but, Good Lord, how did you figure 

that all out?
