How to Video request

in S-21 TECH TIPS

Sure would be nice if you made a video for installing the upper/forward side skins.


The written instructions are a bit lacking at times.

No need, hard to outline all the tips and advice here, but probably the most important is support for the part as it's being assembled/drilled/riveted. Perfectly straight/parallel supports for the part ensure the end result will be straight.

Well, the technique for both is basically the same, our current Rudder build is almost fool-proof if you follow a few basic rules. I think we have narrowed down the few hiccups we had on early production runs.

Eddie and the “few basic rules” are.......?? I’m hanging by my fingernails here! ;-)

(Happy to correspond off the list if preferred.)

Thanks Eddie. Greg is my name. Excuse my poor etiquette for not adding it to my post.

i tried desperately to get to Oshkosh this year mainly to do the rudder build class but it didn’t work out.

An S-21 builder friend who is further into the build suggested building an aileron as the first task suggesting it was less susceptible to messing it up. Your thoughts.....

Gkmanzie, I will gladly consider doing a rudder build video, not sure when our next rudder will be needed as we are stocked up for a next few RTF's, but I will remember to shoot next time I build one.

Eddie can I suggest a video of the Rudder construction would be a great confidence builder for us total newbies to aircraft building.

Being listed as the first build part in the manual it is probably reasonably straight forward however I have read of people building their rudders with a twist in them.
