View Full Version : Cluster - which members get tacked first?


Michael Horowitz
March 29th 09, 07:07 PM
Following StealthPilot's lead, I've posted a picture of a cluster to
rec.aviation.binaries, Subject: Cluster - in what order are the
members tacked in place?

If you had to build this cluster, which order would you tack the
vertical member in place? Would all members touch the longeron?
When you get past three members, how do you shape them to allow more
members in?- Mike

Perhaps it's actually alt.binaries.pictures.aviation?

Mike,

I was hoping you would chime in on this topic. I haven't been able to
find the website you had for the Dyke. I seem to remember that you
were using an H-F torch as well? If you have a good working solution
to this problem, you can send me photos directly via email. The
address is: Wright1902glider <at> aol <dot> com.

Bob,
If you're lurking, I didn't forget. Just took the cupons to work with
me and didn't have enough hands to drag them home in the snow last
Thurs. I'll get a few good shots soon and email them to you.

Harry

Harry - I think you have the wrong Mike- I'm a beginning welder
restoring a Tcraft. FYI I've been using an old Smith torch which is
lightweight; I recently bought a Meko which I'm gonna try when the
weather gets better. - Mike

Wow, that is some serious rust... Was it flying like that?

(Sorry I can't help you with your original question)

Michael---visualize a centerline for each member---the centerlines of
all members should intersect at a point in the center of the longeron. Jerry

Just FYI to others, it has this message ID (some newsreaders may even have
parsing smarts enough so that one can simply click on the ID and the post
will be called up):

Exactly - my concern is how to get the optimal amount of contact for
each member on the longeron. I think the order the members are tacked
down will be important - Mike

I think so; it had been sitting three years before I got there; that's
the problem with not having to recover every 5 years; rust goes
undiscovered - Mike
