May i know the materials you use for designing the fuselage

I am now trying to make my steel ribs just as you did. but I see you didn't bend the narrow flange in along the edge of the ribs as the plans show. (as a last step) Did you try that ? do you see a way to do it without ending up with a mess ? Love your videos----- Tim B. Greeneville TN.

What’s the cost effectiveness between this and using ijoist? I have plenty of time.

That’s awesome

Loving your build. I have to say that a dot/line laser would be very beneficial. Thanks for sharing your build.

What are those blue clamps you are using? Would be very useful for my build! Thanks

i had the same problem with the fly cutters. I found that the bit in the center is all way not centered. I took the bit out and cut a brass pin on the lather ---1/4 inch on one end and oversize on the other end. Then you mount the small end into the end of the fly cutter. Then you grab the shank of the fly cutter in the lathe-- and cut the pin down gradually to 1/4 inch. That way the pin is concentric with the cutter shank. if you use the fly cutter as-is---- it wont cut a round hole because it s wiggling. also I use the brass pin because I dont want a bit to be cutting my central hole any larger. I also run the mill as slow as the mill will turn it. and feed the cutter VERY slowly. so far that has worked well. Cant find a good quality fly cutter.

can this splicing also work in high rpm machines?

Should have been operating off a 12v, 24v or 48v wind turbine....

You talk more than you work

Master metal fabrication skills for sure...You make an Overwhelmingly complex fabrication project look almost manageable by a regular dude....Thx for taking time to show All this at the Perfect presentation speed....

Uhh, I binge watched all your video,s up to this point. Excellent work! Building airplanes is a huge project and can be frustrating in that you get to 80% done and ,in reality, you still have 80% more to go!!! Pretty soon you can sit in it and make airplane sounds!!

Would love to see some more info on your tubing helping hands.

Another great video. It's starting to look like an airplane

Nice work, would appreciate seeing some close ups of the nodes post welding!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any specs you can share, like… - length, depth of trusses? - what angle you cut the webs? - what screws you used? - anything you’d maybe do differently if you were to build them again? Appreciate it! Chad

You can also just use the calibrated feature right below the edit feature. You wouldn’t have to draw the line and do math.

Are you tig welding everything or just using the tig to tack weld and finishing with oxy acetylene

that was interesting, we cut diwn some sheet metal straps and attach them bent around the frame rubing.l.woah...i know that works, and i assume you or somebody calculated the loads and dinensions.l.hopefully.l,but itls basically 1890 design ...and i don,t want to know about rust,,those surfaces are always prone to scarfing and oxidation...well, all hinges are in some way🤷‍♀️but i will nit round up my wooden frames and strap cut down sheet metal around it nor soak it in creoil afterwards...but interesting! 🤔thanks, sometimes stuff is so simpke and a reliable design..l

полнейший БРЕД ))))))))) по всем параметрам в разы лучше делать двутавровые балки из фанеры и брусьев )))))))))

Nice work. I have wanted to build the 4 place for a few years and I am convincing myself to jump in. I am jealous of your shop set up, in particular your nice mill. Keep up the good work.

Hello sir, can you give me the plans to build the metal structure? I will be thankful to you

That was great. I'm going to fix my john deer tractor hood the same way.

if you're filtering out same sizes but want to separate gravel and metal from wood chips, any ideas?

Did you buy the 4130 tubing from a local supplier or from someone like aircraft spruce? I’m planning to start my build this year. Great videos and very helpful!

Great job! I have a fender that's missing a large section, I'm gonna try and scab something into it. Amazing how fast that heats up!?

Good work Mr. I will one day invite you to Canada to share with us your remarkable experience!

i thought you were only supposed to gas weld chromemoly?

B-Spot----- can you tell me where to find plans for your metal brake ? It looks pretty heavy duty and rigid--- better than other DIY ones i have seen !

who says it cant be done

Cool

Great work. Love seeing your progress. I'm just a few years behind you on my LSA.

Very interesting, I have built a kit and considering a scratch, great content

Would like to see a video of you guys setting one in place...

How much did it cost two people glue wood fasteners just curious what the price difference is

I'm all about this technique on used or leftover wood the glue is costly though the screws add up The cost in time is substantial is it cheaper I don't think so used lumber yes with pulled nails then it's your time.

If you welded the tanks why did you need all those rivets? Would it be enough to have just enough to hold the shape prior to welding?

Gracias por compartir . Felicitaciones. Grande Maestra y Maestro.

Please continue with the great details. Im starting in 2024.

عمل رائع ،كيف يمكن الحصول على القياسات للاضلاع

Great results, cunning technique - I really like the flame diverters.

Amazing video. I need trusses for my barn. I am going to copy you as much as possible! I read through many comments. I don't know what year or what country some of these people live in but in 2023 this will save me thousands of US dollars. And being able put them up myself is another game changer. Thank you so much for spending the time to do this video!

woooooww, thats too wild. that guy is awesome.

Are you using 2024T4 or 2024-O and then heat treating?

how many tons of rock have you put through this?

Very informative and no long winded life story. Will definately be using this method. Thankyou😀

Awesome job. Welding thin aluminum like that you are bound to get warping. I learned alot from this vid. Thanks

Is the engineer available to review my plan ? Jim

Your spacing is 24" or 36" in this video ?

Great job, Thank you. I have two questions, 1. Did you do the strength test? 2. I have another design idea; a 2x4 frame sandwiched between a full sheet of two 12-inch OSB. Would it be a good idea?
