 Posted: Mon May 22, 2006 2:42 pm Post subject: Height of fuselage bottom from floor |
 |
|
I am making a jig/fancy table to support the fuselage and tail section in my
shop and would like to know the height of the main fuselage bottom to the
floor with the gear legs on(No wheels). Reference where the gear leg goes
into the fuselage.
I know all floors are not level, but also the distance of the bottom of the
tail cone, last bulkhead(end), to the floor.
With that said, I hopefully will in the end jack up the fuselage and insert
the gear legs.
Thanks

I believe you will find that putting the fuselage/tailcone on a sufficiently
high table will greatly complicate access to the rest of the fuselage for
the build. You might consider a couple of refrigerator dollies under the
main spar and padding the loading steps. lifting the fuselage to insert the
gear legs should be relatively easy by using a portable crane to attach to
the motor mount to lift it. Of course you put the gear on before the wings.

Don't trust this measurement if you want something exact, but for some
reason I'm thinking I remember about 27" from floor to belly. I
may be way off.
I do have some of the measurements here:
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/workarea.html
If someone has that measurement from floor up, then I'll add that to
the page.
Russ Daves sent it to me a long time ago and for the life of me I
can't find the email.

I had my RV-10 on (2) flat 4 wheel dolly's until it was ready to go up
on the gear legs. Then we lifted the front end (by hand) and put a saw
horse under the front. Then did the same for the back and slid in the
gear legs. No need for a 'crane' and it was very simple.
Of course, none of these reply's give you the dimensions you were
looking for....

No in the official archives, but in mine. I THINK this measurement was
made with the wheels and tires on. Use at your own risk.
From Tim:
27 inches from the ground to the belly. This is measured at about
the mid point of the doors...just behind where the actual
tires are.
in response to Bob
.... trying to find the floor to belly measurement for the moment.

I echo Dave's comments. you will want the Fuse fairly low to facilitate
all of the work that goes on during it's build. the gear legs don't get
added until the finish kit. and everything in the Fuse plans have you
reaching over/under the fuse to get to things. I've got mine on some
cut-off sawhorses (a la Rick sked) with wheels on them, but if I did it
over I'd cut off a couple more inches from the saw-horses. (I'm what you
call 'vertically challenged')
