Didn't ANYBODY after WW2 have the love of airplanes and the foresight to buy at least one military airplane, especially since they were so cheap? What were they thinking?! Did they not see the value of these planes for future generations? Why didn't some civilians simply buy a B-17 for $700 and...

Subject figure shows how to splice a streamlined tube. It seems to be saying use the same thickness/dimensions as the part being repaired, saw the trailing edge, force it open, and slip the splice over the part being repaired. Let's minimize bending the splice material by slipping it over the strut...

In preparation for doing some simple OA welding on a rudder, I've been practicing on some 4130 scrap. Since there is filler where it's not structurally important, I"ve been filing the excess material. All except one and it's as hard as if I were trying to file stainless. Is this an indication that...

At http://www.taylorcraft.info/tcraft/proj207.jpg we see a restored tailsection. The bushing appears to have first been welded to a plate, and the plate in turn welded to the tailpost. Is that what was done? Is this done to help with alignment of the bushing? - Mike
