Hello,
I'd like to use some temporary assembly technique on some Al aircraft control surface parts.
I'm planning on initially using 3/32 pulled all aluminum rivets in place of clecos in some places for
parts that will eventually have 1/8 CCP-42 (or similar) blind rivets.
This is to allow the...
We are trying to mount hinges to a control surface and subsequently attach that to mating hinges on a wing in the context of an experimental
(homebuilt) aluminum airplane.
It is convenient to glue one half hinge to the control surface on a jig for positioning, With this fixturing it is then...
Hello.
I am familiar with the FAA AC-43-13 which has guidance for repair via splice of 4130 tubing. There is mentioned there the
use of an external sleeve in no surprising fashion.
On the other hand there are these guys...
Hello.
I'm working on a hydraulic system for light aircraft landing gear retraction/extension.
Everyone I know that operates similar systems says it is very rare (like essentially never) that they purge/bleed the thing.
(These are owner/operators, so maybe others are solving that problem for...
Hello,
Summary: I want to convert pneumatic 100 psi 3 cylinder (2 1.5 in 5 in stroke and one 1.5 in 3 in stroke) system
to hydraulic (water or atf or whatever works).
For this I need a suitable replacement for the current clippard MJTV 4 valve, which has 1/8 npt ports...
Hello.
I need push connect fittings for 1/4 od air lines (to 1/8 npt) on a system that has 250 PSI cylinders that are good from -20 F to 200 F.
The cylinder maker (Automation Direct) has fittings that are fine on pressure and have a low temp limit of 32 F.
Cylinder seals are Buna-N and the...
Hello,
I don't know where to look for low duty cycle low pressure hydraulic components.
I have an application that uses Nitra A24050DP-M and Nitra A24030DP-M air cylinders at about 100 or 110 Psi.
I'd like to move from air to hydraulic in hopes that
1. I can make the retracted system...
Hello,
I have to cut a 4 ft .035 wall 4130 control shaft to install some support bearings near the ends.
I can then splice it back together and install it. (Experimental small aircraft).
I can weld it which is sound, but I'd like to consider some kind of fastening that is removable for...
Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade a sidestick control system in a homebuilt airplane.
The current system uses a pair of aluminum "standoff" mounts (one each fore and aft)
to implement an aluminum (anodized) to steel (the control torque tube for roll) plain bearing.
I'd like to retrofit a rolling...
