Hell yea. I spotted that Coors Banquet 😎

The two tubes are not pushing against each other . it is hanging on a free spinning hinge. The reason for the support is to hold it together but mostly for bracing .😅😂

After building open wheel race cars for 40 years you might want to put the tube in a vise to hold it. After the thin, 1/16" cut off wheels became available I started using them over a standard grinding wheel. I actually found the Harbor Freight ones work pretty good. BUT be careful and don't go sideways because the thin blade will brake and your body parts will not like it. For redoing the same angle of joint I use index cards and wrap around the tube and cope the card and then you can re do that angle over and over accurately. You can also mark the other side so to align the ends up for a specific length. I do have the plans for the Legal Eagle and might build one.

I am quite angry and disappointed with the plans I purchased from these folks. They were terrible, nothing like the above video. I am going to demand my money back.

Is that the later model, lower in the 😅front All the fittings to make an weld on now after finish weld main fuselage.

I know this video post is old but the jig only needed to be modified to allow the bend to go slightly past the 90deg point to compensate for the springback. So the end of the 5" radius should curve inward slightly to allow the tube to bend past 90deg and then spring back right on the mark.

Bom dia , onde consigo encontrar esse projeto?

Bom dia , que material é esse que você usou ?

I am wondering what the weight difference is with wood VS aluminum?

I used one ajustable 2, 3 ft back from the tail. Worked great

Is this 4130 chromoly steel

Love your vids. Started binge watching from the beginning. Subscribed and liked. Got to the gas welding series and got excited. Really got excited with your description of how it was the most artistic of all the welding methods. Then you stop with #6 aaarrrrrggg. The whole 6 vids is about equipment and theory. You never talked or showed how to actually gas weld. Fuuuuuuu. I want my money back lol. And yes I know this is a 11 year old video but to the rest of us it's 30 minutes ago.

Looks great! Would love to know if you finished the build.

This is great advice still even 10 yrs later. Loving the series!

HI BRO ARE YOU OK NO VIDEOS AFTER 8 YEARS

BY THE WAY I AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA

THANK YOU BROTHER FOR YOUR TIME TO DO THIS VIDEOS NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. MY DREAM IS TO BUILD MY OWN PLANE AND THIS HELPS A LOT

Thanks again, I have learned so much from Your videos.

Great vids on your construction of the LE fuselage. Thanks for sharing… I learned some things about welding that I never knew. The only thing that you may want to think about is those welds that will be in tension on the uprights to the wing. You ideally want those to be contiguous tubes (thus the bended ones in the original design). Those tubes carry most of the weight underneath the wing to the wing attachment points. I under stand your concern about force points lining up, and you are correct in that. However, now most of the weight beneath the wing will now be hanging on those welds… not what I would do. Even with good welds there (and I certainly am not criticizing your welds… you know what you are doing!), those welds will be subject to critical high forces and vibrations, critical in the sense that it is a major component holding the wing to the fuselage. Welds are always considered weak spots… even good ones. Perhaps weld a gusset plate at those points?? Just my two cents. (I am a retired Aero engineer… and have a background in mechanics of materials, just sayin’ 😉)

I have learned so much from Your very informative Videos. Thank you. I live in Alaska and would like to put floats on a Double Eagle, not much information on that.

Thanks again. I appreciate your approach on enjoying your project , taking your time and using your brain. Building a quality Aircraft.

You da Man !!!

Stop and have a beer, maybe 6 or 7 .

I'm learning 😊 Thanks again.

Much appreciation

You da Man !!!

You da Man !!!

Life is a learning process. Thank you for your expertise 😊

You da Man !!!

Much appreciation !!! Your contracting skills are appreciated. I'm in Alaska, I'm hoping to build a eagle XL with floats , still have lots to learn.

Thanks a lot 😊

Leonard is da Man !!!

In life We have many uncertain Adventures, Those who persist are successful.

The material isn't the problem it's the 20 to 30k for a license. Ridiculous!

i'm sure it's too late to comment after 10 years of this being posted. but asking anyway. thanks for explaining this process in a comprehensive manner. what's unclear though, are you suggesting that i dial down acetylene at the torch handle (then adjust oxy for neutral flame) to accommodate thickness? thanks again.

Yep, very nice plans and plane! 😁👍👍🇺🇲

All those aircraft fasteners have design allowables, meaning they are guaranteed to have certain strength in service. Even those small #40 drill size pull rivets are very strong, nearly 100 pounds pull apiece.

Did you ever get it this done

The 5" R doesn't mean squat!! Any radius as long as it doesn't kink is fine. What would happen to the airplane if both radii were 6"?? Nothing at all. Live and learn about springback but as long as both sides end up the same keep on truckin'!!

Using TIG for tag welds and OxyAcetylin final.

I would definitely hire you as a plumber! Your attention to detail is impressive. Nice vid, and your concern and care to build is exceptional. But there is a time when learning has to stop and application begins! Building an airplane takes a looooong time, and I fear you got bogged down in the details… especially with 3 kids! It’s important to trust the design, which is well proven.

Really enjoy the videos and your approach to building a quality plane. One nitpick: the strengths of the rivets shown in those specs are loads in pounds not psi.

I don't know why your videos are always incomplete.

Very good video. But bottles should not be free standing like that?!

Been looking for these plans. The web site is currently down. Does anyone know anything about this?

Although 9 years passed since you made this video, I wanted to ask you: what paper size did you print the plans on in order to have a full-size wing rib (the sheets to be glued together)? Thank you!

Curious in other videos you talk about preferring a welded joint over a bend. What made this section here different that it was ok to do a bend?

Thank you for the video. I too hope to see you next one soon!

well well well how or where i can download the pdf

How big the bottles need to be?
