Project: AR-PATROL     -     Entry

Feb 04, 2021 4.0 Plans review - Focus on rib parts. Category: Plans Review
Rocky went through the drawings and created a spreadsheet materials list that will be required.

We have a sheet of 6061-T6 x .125 that I purchased as part of my earlier MiniMax project. This looks like it may be close to enough required for parts to be make from it. I also have a few of the Spar parts made from 6061-T6 x .126 that was made for the original 4 place Bearhawk. These parts also do not match up with the Patrol requirements but a few of them can be used for smaller parts..

Things to research & To-Do's:
1. How are the lengths of 4130 Tubing determined in order to purchase correct amounts?
2. If I use the original 6061-T6 material anywhere, Do I still have documentation of purchase?
3. Get the invoice for the sheet of 6061-T6 I purchased for the MiniMax.
4. What material is Angela getting for the template? If laminate, do we need to worry about it being prone to breaking? That might be the advantage of using aluminum sheet. Update 02/04/2021 - Picking this up today.
5. We need to get some markers.
6. Count how many nose rib blanks I had. Not critical.
7. Study and document how to do metal bending so we can have the process down pat. COMPLETED

Rocky reviewed Drawing #3 to determine non-dimensioned areas. Include the length of the stiffeners that will be required and the diameter of the lightening holes. They drawing is 1/2 scale. And per Bob, “Scale all no-dimensions.”

Sizes and number of .025” x 1/2" x 1/2" stiffeners for wing ribs:
(30 ) 6-1/2”
(24 ) 8-1/4”
(24) 7-1/4”
(24) 8-3/4”
