Hey all,

I've recently purchased a Merlin PSA, a single seat E/A-B LSA kit from Aeromarine in the US. Getting my "toolkit" together, as this is my first time down the home-build track. Happy to listen to any sage advice on preparing my build space, what stands, etc., I'll need to support the fuselage during the build and any other 'extras' I'll need to get the job done properly.

 

Happy building and flying folks.

Cheers

Dalmo. 

I was going to have rigid main gear struts (triangulated with two struts attached to the base of the fuselage, and one up just under the seat), and rely on the 18 inch tundra tyres for damping, but I'm thinking I may find it more comfortable to include some form of damping.

 

I was looking at rear shocks for bikes, and they offer 60-70mm travel, with a max loading of about 250kg each.  Larger are available, of course.  They are also quite reasonably priced.

 

Would this work?

I didn't have anything to do with the Bleriot. The mechanic who changed the engines received this one for his work and he left it for me to sell for him. JG

Have old compass Needs oil.TLC Advise some where to send Cheers

I had an uncle or 2 who instructed at Broadmeadows, one of them, Roy, later, in the mid to late 70s, went to Rutherford to help fix up the tiger moths. I suspect you wouldn't have known my father who instructed at RNAC from 46 to 47 before going to Tamworth to join East-West. I worked for a couple of years in the early 70s and was saddened to see Broadmeadows turned into a football stadium. Keep well
