Crashed my mini-max tonight   (reply) Posted by: radfordc
Date Posted: Less than a minute ago

Quoted from Andy
Sorry Charlie, for my off the wall comment.  I'm pretty sure this post is a hoax though.

Unless the NTSB or local law enforcement forced me to report it, I would be keeping a tight lip.
The last place I would posting pictures of my wreak would be here.
Makes no sense that someone would freely post this kind of information for anyone on the worldwide web to view.

If I am wrong, then apologize for that.  

Andy


It's an ULTRALIGHT...not an airplane.  You don't have to report anything to anybody.

That  is a neat  engine Knut, maybe if I build  a Sopwith Camel I would use it.  I am still at least  a year away  from selecting an  engine for my Tiger Moth but am still looking at a Geo Metro or Suzuzki.   Something with in-line  cyinders.

Both top wings are covered, laced, and coated with two cross-coats  of  filler (primer).  Two days ago  I started working on one lower wing.  Made a list of "fixes"  to do so I  don't  forget anything in the process.

Aero-Max kit available soon   (reply) Posted by: JDT David
Date Posted: 43 minutes ago
Thanks for the pics guys but I have no ideal how to delete the original pic.

The pre-cut pannels make it very quick to build. It is difficult for me to put a time to it as I have been spending time making fiddly changes to the panels and ironing out some minor bugs which takes an inordinate amount of time. Then, how do you account for curing time, the process is do a bit and then wait over night for adhesive to cure, then do a bit etc. Perhaps if I describe the process you will get an idea of how the build goes.

Lay out one entire plywood side and fit frame members to laser etched marks. glue.
repeat for the other side.
make up a few laminated parts (solid timber or 3/4 ply sandwiched between pre-cut ply) , t...

Aero-Max kit available soon   (reply) Posted by: Cy V

Quoted from KevinThorp
What about build time?  I assume the wings & tail feathers are similar to the Minimax.  About how many hours to build the fuselage?  Doesn't it have some sort of "tab & slot" to make the pieces easier to fit together?


I would imagine the laser cut parts alone will cut the build time in half.

Max'es are like snow flakes; no two are just alike, so why not a biplane. They did it to the Fly Baby. But you might need a radial engine up front to fight the drag. LOL Have fun whatever you do.

Is it possible to add wing tanks to built wing?   (reply) Posted by: Ricardo
Date Posted: September 9, 2010, 11:06pm
About tank fitting, the  manual recomends 1/4" clearence on each tank side for expansion.
I have fuel in the tank for a week so far and gap remains the same.
Not that my plane is ready to fly but is it safe taking off with loose tanks inside the wings?

Date Posted: September 9, 2010, 8:00am
Yes, SloMax... it is posssible, in fact it was much more easier than I thought before I started. The worst moment was when I cut the covering.
The link to my work is here: http://www.lonesomebuzzards.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1261242728/

But this topic should be under "Generell discussions".
Good luck, and show us some pics during your work.

Glad to hear you are OK Diesel.  I was thinking carb ice before I got to that part in your post.  They say pilots start out with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience and the trick is to fill the experience bag before you run out of luck.  So far you are ahead.  Everyone does a flyby once in a while, me included so I am not going to beat you up.  Sorry to hear about the plane for sure though.

I and Chris did it to our planes wasn't a big deal... he added 2 and I added one.  Get the kit from JDT and it has everything you need...well I think you need the fittings and fuel line but the wood and plans are easy... unless someone built  your wing wrong like mine was, just added about an hour to the build.  It is really pretty simple.
