Building a Special Body

[flywheel1935]

Hi Paul, its a LMA Taylorcraft 85% full size SSDR Microlight, power will in the short term is a 2 stroke 447 Rotax twin, with the option to fit a Rotax 582 at a later date.
ref the gussets, they are placed, drilled 3/32, clecoed, then each hole opened to 1/8th". then plates removed, the inside is scuffed up with oxide paper, as is the alloy airframe tube, then de-greased, and finally bonded and riveted with Hysol, aircraft glue, the vaseline is to keep the clecoes lubed. the rivets were supplied in the kit,and only support the structure while the glue sets. As its a SSDR project we don't have to use 'aircraft spec fitting' but as were all LAA Members and or inspectors, we are building to LAA/CAA quality control.
