Not Tim.... It's Pete

Try.........

Was just thinking that a mounting plate at the rear post area to accommodate a tail wheel would be in order but it's not. Was just thinking out loud. Continue miestro....... Ps.... Looking good by the way Am really interested in that wing fold mechanism

Is this a nose wheel design? Can't remember

Is it round after the hinge point?

I could see this work if the joint was like a universal or the top pin was indeed round allowing it to rotate in the square tube. Is that what your trying to show or are we barking up the wrong tree?

Love the pun

Just looking back at your first post. You could possibly just call the plane a " XPB" with a number to show what type it is. Sorry, but I do tend to get a little involved in things such as what you are doing. Would love to be doing what your doing.

Thanks for the explanation Bex

Better show us a vid of your process Tim

Poor DAD jokes Timbo

Just asking, but why so many rivets along the vertical and not just two or so on the ends like a gusset with a couple in the middle to stop the brace from flapping? Not criticizing, genuinely curious as to all the rivets Loving your posts by the way. Very interesting

Makes me want together a wriggle on with my Nieuport build

Hey check out Bexs other thread on airframes. It's in the aircraft building and design section.

Hey Aussie , bought a kit house the other day. I'll have to get my owner builders permit

It's coming thick and fast now!

After seeing the last two posts, I rest my case

Hey Matt, in no way are most of us guessing or pushing Bex for info. A lot of us on here get side tracked with witty comments and try to outdo each other in this way. Taking the Mickey out of someone on this forum is most times all in fun and not meant to be insulting, but a light hearted way of emphasizing with them. All of us are waiting with baited breath to see and hear Bexs engine, but in the meantime, we will endeavour to keep things humourous. At least I will. I'm sure over time you too will understand the way most forum members interact with each other and that most things are said with tongue in cheek. Cheers....... Pete

They flew them in the tv series Stargate , so they must be allright.

That's gold mate..... That's gold
