Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Morning Everyone,
Thank you so much for your comments, I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving me a message, thanks buddies. ;D

Well after working on the design for the main hydraulic actuators for the flaps it was onto the airbrake actuators.
Wanted to make them a bit smaller, with a different design from the main ones, most of my time was spent experimenting, constructing, adjusting and fabricating quite a few sets of actuators.
I also positioned a brace with a central pivot for the airbrake actuators to attach to.

Used small diameter bar to make braces for the back of the wings, then trimmed and sanded them.

Made a smaller airbrake actuator for the small fixed side wings, very little room to work in this area.

Started on a small wiring hub for the back section, will be adding more details to this later on.

This is where i'm currently at, I feel like i've made very little progress in the last few weeks, the planning process is very slow sometimes and you just have to be patient and try lots of different options then all of a sudden something clicks into place and then that gives you another idea, then another and then your off and running again, but i think i will have to make some various detail pieces as i don't seem to be finding what i need in my bits box.

Going to add more wiring and pipe lines next.
I might have to buy a few more donor kits if i can't make it work with what i've got, but we shall see.

Take care

Gag
