I'm about ready to splice on a good fin & boom to a badly broken
Puchacz fuselage. Made a clean cut 56" aft of the aft lift fittings, glued in a sleeve, jigged up the two pieces (both sides straight, top & bottom straight, fin vertical, lift fittings horizontal), spliced the push-rod, hooked up the TE tube, now all I have to do is splice the radio cable, right? Always hated trying to solder that little center post on the BNC, especially working inside a fuselage half with short leads. Found a BNC crimper from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty for about $200 bucks with proper die and a hand full of BNC's. Works slick as snot, just slide on the sleeve, trim the cable as before, slip on the center post and crimp it, then slide on the BNC body, shove the sleeve down over the exposed shield and crimp it also. That's it, all done! I installed one male and one female connector (legal in all states). Some may wish to use two females with a male to male coupler (only legal in some states). JJ |
