 |
|
Hi Gang:
Here are some photos of what I did today to finish up most of the
center section for my mkIII. Click on the file, but start at the
bottom and go up instead of top and down. For some reason the FTP
loaded them that way when I uploaded to the index page.
http://home.elmore.rr.com/jhauck/hauck%20mkIII/
The black material is frangible haircell plastic that covers the exit
through the sheet metal for the parachute. The rocket has been
lowered 5" to fit inside the center section.
Normally, the center section is built of sheet metal, lexan, and 3
nose ribs. To make the center section accept the parachute, I built 4
nose ribs with enough space for the pack tray inbetween the middle
ribs.
Hardware and rocket will be installed once the center section is on
the wings. It is a job to do, but it makes a nice clean, weather
proof installation.
Two of the inspection holes will have inspection plates installed to
help cut down some of the noise inside the cockpit.
The deployment handle is right over my forehead. I can get to it with
left, right, or both hands. It is pretty easy to find my forehead, in
normal circumstances, so maybe it will be as assist to find that
handle should I need it.
If you have any questions about the photos, please ask. I do not have
time to write about each photo. Behind the power curve trying to get
the mkIII ready to fly to Lakeland.
Still got an engine to mount and lexan to install.
Take care,
john h

Thanks Mike:
Now all I need is an engine and lexan, then a little test flying to
see if I can still fly. Have not been airborne since the Kolb
Homecoming, end of Sep 2006. Looking forward to getting back in the
air and making the flight to Lakeland and out to MV, SE Oregon, and
points West.
