REFLECTOR: fuselage cradle...Jim's flying...

[Chuck Jensen]

Greg,

 

Yes, I am.  He says he never got to the section in the plans for the
anchor either, though at that point of the build process they all look
like they could use one.  Jim has a good sense of humor---he can handle
it.  

 

How's winter down there?

Maybe there should have been a tongue in cheek smiley at the end of that
question to Jim, Chuck? You are aware he has long been flying his Velo?

Jim,

 

Good photo.  I could see the sails in the back ground but didn't see the
keel with the lead ballast....no oar locks either-guess you aren't that
far along in the plans?

Robin,

 

Attached is a picture of my cradle that served me fine.  It was made of
2" x 4"s & plywood on 4 large casters so it could be easily moved.
Notice the 4 camper leveling screw jacks at the corners that allowed
quick and easy leveling.  Once you use the jacks (I used a digital
level) you learn just how many turns per degree of level are required.

Can anyone point me toward pictures of some of the best designed
fuselage cradles?  I know there have been pictures of them, but for some
reason I can't find them now...

Thanks,

Robin
