 |
|
Folksen,
I have been working on my materials list for my 601xl. I would like to
believe I have all the major parts listed, thicknesses, number of each
and finally rough dimensions and areas.
Here is what I have for just the sheet goods 6061-T6:
0.016 5-4'x8'
0.025 11-4'x12'
0.032 1-4'x12'
0.063 1-4'x4'
I have checked and rechecked, but it's always good to have someone else
that's been there to either point and laugh or confirm my calculations.
I haven't done the "it's cheaper to get Y-4'x12' sheets rather than
X-4'x8' sheets, etc. This was strictly looking at the max dimensions of
the pieces I needed and buying that + some overage.
Do those quantities jive, or am I smoking crack?

Go to http://www.ch601.org/builder%20resources.htm and get the 601xl.pdf
where it says "new 601xl version layout sheets". I can't remember what I
ordered originally before the change was made to the thicker skins.

Hi Lee,
For the HDS it was prudent to have more 8 foot sheets as I learned the
hard way. You should inventory your long pieces and figure how many of
each you need and add 20% for damage and errors in your shop. I'd buy
enough .016 for ailerons, elevators, etc. Replace any other .016 skin
with .020
where you can. I made 5 ailerons to get two correct and then
accidentally stepped on the good one and bought more sheet. Several rear
top skins
two rudder nose skins, two stabilizer nose skins, and many other parts
too numerous to mention to get it exactly right. You get the idea. With
the XL
you might just be ahead with 12 footers.
