Sounds/looks like a good W10 project. What chassis is the MB OM617 engine sitting in?

Hi everyone! I tried to update my profile this morning? and may have accidentally created a new one.. Anyway, finally brought the W10 home we were looking at. It's a bit of a mystery. It May or may

Hi Bernard A friend and I just brought a W10 project home last week from another member in Indiana. I'm near Aurora and he's in Bath. Your welcome to come take a look. It's pretty ugly now but the

Gee, I met a Paul Tremblay at Oshkosh back in the 1990's. Smart man.? Any connection?

Hello I am very interested in the W10 and would like to get in touch with anyone close to me. Washinton North Carolina Bernard

I have the triangular access panel on the bottom also.? The slightly oval hole is where the elevator tubes (where the horns are attached) exit the fuselage.

Greg, Sounds like you are progressing well.? It does seem to take forever.? I made my access panels similar to what Mike mentioned.? I also used polycarbonate? (Lexan) for the "ring" and wrapped

Mike thank you for the feedback! It sounded like it would work, but I'd rather be sure and check w those who have experiance first.

Dan-I would use minimum number of blind rivets-just enough to line up the door skin. My door rivets are working to the point I am considering new door skins with a maximum of 6 rivets each door. I did

Hi Greg, I think your idea will work.? I used Lexan instead of Plexiglas for all of my fabric rings.? For the Tailwind horn access I used a square Lexan ring and wrapped the fabric and fabric glued

I have a newfound respect for what everyone says when they say they are "90% finished but 90% left to do"!!!! I feel like I should have been finished with my build last spring!! I can safely say that

There was nothing scientific about how I tested the glue. 3M does publish some strength info but I'm just one step above a caveman so I was more interested in more of a common sense result. I would

So this was a “peel strength” test, not a “shear” test, right? And I do think peel strength is the parameter of interest. If so, good info . . . qualitatively anyway – i.e. a comparative

Excellent data, thanks for sharing it! I intend to construct my doors with 3/4" square 6061-T6 covered with 0.020" 2024-T3. I wonder if this would yield similar results?

In the event that anyone was curious about a couple of the glue options for bonding the aluminum skin to the door frames, I made up a little sample to test the 3M 2216 vs the 3M 38315 panel bonding

The plans call for a step down in tube diameter outboard of the connector tube to match the tip dimension. ?This is a welded splice at this transition. ?Why not just flatten the tube to transition

My prior project in another lifetime was a Spencer Aircar.? Unfortunately the folks who bought the design rights from Spencer did not keep things going very well.? All the assets are currently up

Just beware that having the engine an inch forward will really effect the CG of the plane! Check the real weight of the engines, not the published weights. John Haedtler

Both CG for the slightly lighter engine and maintenance access. I’ve replaced the generator with an alternator to shed weight. Got rid of the vacuum pump. No fuel pump. I do like to have plenty of
