Project: KMYARV12     -     Entry

Mar 14, 2021 3 Worked on multiple parts Category: Fuselage
Congratulations Team, we got our 100th hour today!

Wings (Holden Glass + Maggie Colwell): We figured out the stall warning horn. Everything is screwed in place. We put in the fancy rivet (to quote brady) to hold the angle of attack system. Once you have riveted the "fancy rivet" you have to pound the mandrill out. Other than that we just did the wiring for the lights. Something special about this aircraft is that we have a landing light on both sides rather than 1. The rest of us did a lot of deburring on the wing skins.
Fuselage (Josh Weiss): We scuffed out the fuel tank to prepare it for sealant. That is scrubbing some rough paper on it to get the sealant on. We used tape to make sure we did the right places. Tomorrow we can will take it to the airport and mess with this nasty sealant stuff. It takes a while to cure, we will be doing this is at the airport because we don't want to mess up this shop. It takes a week to cure.
Seatbacks (Richard Glidden): We cut the hinge pins 2 inches. This hinge is for changing the angle of the back seat. The pivet pins at the bottom are for the ejection system. Amber used the safety pliers to put a safety line to secure a part of the seat back. The safety pliers are locked on to the line, and then you can pull a plug to spin the pliers. You do this to keep bolts and screws from being unscrewed. These are completely finished.
Flaperon (Rebecca Colwell): Double check everything with everyone... we had to take out a lot of rivets and did 2 steps. A group (*cough* me) decided to go ahead and rivet the next step. However they riveted the wrong holes...
Mentor (Rick Hildenburg? ): Explained pito static system. The ram of the stream of the pressure tells us the speed of the plane. When the air goes over the angle of attack thing, the pressure on this opening determines the angle. When the pressure on the angle of attack is reaching the pito static, it will bleep telling you are reaching critical angle of attack. At that point you need to reduce the angle of attack or increase engine power. The wind physically pushes a lever that tells you are stalling.
Devin ___: Our religion class made T shirts for Mr. Murphy and his wife.
Check out this video of us doing work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_hVE83wz55RqqLxiUNJild9nzeQ2xth5/view?usp=sharing --> sorry for the poor quality, I set my graphics on low for internet transfer. The file size was over 100 MB for that short video!
Also Mr. Timothy Steedman stopped in to look at our work. He is teaching something similar in his ITE class about gliders and air foils.
