XL material list

[Jlwright]

Is the material list for the XL on file somewhere on the forum. I am waiting for my plans to arrive but would like to place an order tomorrow for material to make wing ribs. I have the plans for a regular LE but understand I will need more because of the longer wing.

Thanks Steve.  I have the cad drawings from Scott in Iowa so that allowed me to get the rib jig all set up and ready. I just modified my old airbike jig to match the new cad drawing. The ribs are very close to being the same.

Double check length of 5/8" and 1/2" round tubing. I believe you will find there is to much 1/2" and not enough 5/8"

[Jlwright]

Will do, Maybe the newest plans will have that corrected if it is wrong. Thanks for the heads up.

The material list doesn't seem to have enough .020 aluminum sheet. All the ribs and gussets for the tail from one sheet of 20" X 24"? I haven't laid anything out yet but some of the ribs are over 30". Anyone know how much you actually need?

C-77 was published in July 2013, it's still 1 ea 20" x 24" .020

That first inboard brace on the horizontal stab looks like its 36" long too.

I do see the sixth 4130 tubing item was changed to 2 ea .05" square .065" and the seventh was lined out.

I ordered the 24" x 48" sheets from ACS  took care of length problem. I have also pop riveted two shorter pieces to get thay long one

Hey Les, (or anyone else), I am hours away from ordering my 4130 tubing. Anyone know exactly how much extra 5/8" x .035 I should order?  105 ft + . Thanks Rich.

[Jlwright]

My plans say 125 ft. I bought the plans about a month ago.

Purchase some extra while you are at it. If you cut a tube too short you may have just made an addition to the set of wind chimes that always result from one of these projects.  

If in doubt about quantities, go old school--get out the plans and a ruler and add up the total material needed.

What Sam said.  I bought 140 feet just to be sure.

[Rich Snyder]

OK. I'll order 130 ft. Wind chime report to follow;). Thanks everyone!

30 ' of 1/2" is not enough, ran out on the last brace running from the lower to upper longeron. I need  25" length only have about a foot left. Will have to check the rest of the drawings to see how much more 1/2" is required.

Also the new tank of oxygen, it's empty! Oh well there is always football tomarrow.

Glad I bought 140 feet now.
