Let's admit it guys; building an airplane isn't easy, and if you don't have the pat Tence to see At through, don't start. 7 read that “building a plane isn't a big Job, its a lot of Little jobs". My advice Ys not to count the jobs ahead of you, but to marvel at the ones you've completed. TE you keep sawing, gluing and glassing cla father time will reward you with a beautiful bird of your very own. Juts don't ash, study your plens very close at first and Seek help if you don't understand han, Tt saves a lot of un-bailding. Even @ trip to Lancaster to meet Jim and to gee the prototype as I did last August. Jim is a fine man and 2 real ccaftemen who makes you feel welcared in his shop.

My plans for the JN-1 is to go U/L therefor I did not care to add weight by building larger ailerons but have checked into using a 48" wing cord in same design as plans but with outboard ailexons( Xitten, Pup,& Mathews J3 Jr.)I've just started checking ovt Junkers style "Plaperons". You suggest cub style lending gear to save weight. Will the framing in the bottom of the fuse take the weight of a one wheel touchdown as in a crosswind landing. A peice of 8 ply k" birch could be added to - tie one side to the other, possibly bottom framing could be slightly smaller with all edges classed. Tais sounds like a lot of added lbs. How about your input for a strong light way. You also advised that the engine must be 74" fwd. of the C/G. My question is,wevld you see a problem with keeping the fire- wall as placed but extending the motor mount? Almost forgot, the"gastank". Tank and fuselage. + (windscreen to cowl) will be one unit made from Clark or Klegsel, Dragonfly style. At present I'm collecting materials and checking out my ideas. Thank You Carl £. Richards 1547 Lake Rd. Conneaut, ohio 44030 (216) 593-2033 Dear Carl, Fisher aircraft use 2 peice of channel aluminum to mount their geer. This seams to spread the load of a one wheel landing. The shock is absorbod across the whole underside as opposed to only one ‘side. It would be advisable to extend the motor mounts rather then to move the firewall. Dear Mike, The $47.50 spent for plans was well worth the money even if I never get to build the little plane. I have gotten hours of entertainment out of studying the plans. So much fun in fact that I realize it would be 10 times es much fun to build it. (H'mmmmm. If I can just find the time.) when T build I'l] more then likely put it on floats.

WE 54724 Mike, ~ eg I've raed that it is not wise to de-~ ¥ viate from the plans vhen building a airplane. Bither from need or foolis, ness I have. I eliminated the door, (it looked like too much work, and my find became confused) ,so I redid the cabin, Open on both cides with extra bracing. These are the least of my deviations. Coulén't find any doug fiz oxcept 2x8's. Not being one to plane lots of big lumber into little sticks r stumbled around the lumber yard for a few deys, till they asked me what I was doing. "Building an airplane" Yoh", then silence. "You mean one you fly on a string." T said "No"! "you gonna sit in it?" "Yup": Laugh ter and hollering chuckles. Plus the Indies at the local Coast to Coast store shoot at me, when 1 come in with 2 hand held Anti-aizcraft leser gun from the toy section. Brushing all pride aside I took an Orvill & Wilber approach saying "It can be done". I used yellow pine moulding and laminated it with doug fir ply- wood 4" thick, for the top longeron & side pieces. With this method it is easy to construct an inter-lockits. at the top forward intersection. Using Weldwood plastic resin glue I also laminated the bottom pieces in~ cluding the formers where wood is used. This also allowed me to tie the tailsection longerons into the cabin using an interlocking systen Tt appeared to me thet this is a weak area and I did not appreciate gussets in this area. I have not yet worked on the tail section. I am not convinced I will laminate plywood for the spars, this needs more re— search. I plan to use a 447 or 503 therefor I had to invision a motor mount that will move to adjust the C/G. I may need a mount that will Slide on a 2x2 box alum, This piece will also tie into the cabin struct— ure at some point below the cabin spar.

Is it important that the propel- ler be mounted on or near the thrust ine? 2) what is the clipped wing ment— tioned in the last letter? well Randy, your stery shout the Jum ber yard is not uncommon. Most peo- Le feel that if it didn't come out of a factory, it isn't an airplane. Your laminating will probably be stronger and OK since weight is not a big consideration. You can go te spruce in the sper if you heve ta. Z would recommend Aircraft Spruce and Speciality as 2 supplier inetead Of your lumber yard for spar material Depending on your fina} wt. the 447 ex 503 will be a good choice. The mount can be as simple o= complicated as you wish to make it. Fisher Brod. has a complete mount available for their 404 that works. For the landing gear, you could try a Drifter style. This is solid 4130 and tough as nails. The prop should be as close te the thrust line as possible ta give long. itudinal stability to the design. The clipped wing version calls for 2 wing that is 3* shorter overall. TAis version has not yet been tested. Thanks for your letter and Good Luck. Keep us informed.

Preliminary taxi test Showed that there is further work to do on the float brace structure before flight testing. These are floats designed by Jim. The JN took te the water like it was made to live there. The mud on the banks of the river was another story. Nothin lives there. The addition of a spray rail and some corrective surgery on the mounting brackets will bring further test- ing. I suppose this will be in the spring. Seeeeteeseaessssee PAGE 18 CORRECTIONS There are some corrections on page 18 of the building guide. There are 4 eyeboits missing in the original drawings. Also, if vou are building the folding levator, be sure to beef the edge of the foam (where the hinge sets) with 3/4 by 3/4 wood glassed in.

Make a slurry from Q-cell and epoxy and apply to the foam first. This acts asa filler for the foam andé wood. Spread it evenly with a spatula, and lay on the 60z. material an? let it soak into thé glass. Mix plain epoxy and apply over the Goz.until it is evenly laid but. ‘While stil) wet, Spply the second layer of doz. glass and again, use olein eooxy so evenly coat the second layer. 402. is @ Closer weave and does not require much apoxy to get an even coat. Winile the toz. is sosking. “s%e the sists lays = it evenly across the surface.DO NOT LET IT ON THE SURFACE LONGER THAN 30 To 45 SECONPS. Brush off the loos Q-cell (save it) and the surface eure. Not brushing the excess Q-cell from the surfece will leave bumps that will reguire add- tional sanding and we are using the Q-cell to 2voad this in the Zirst place. Make suze there are ac lumps. All you want to do is £ill the weave of the 402. material. After the epoxy has cured, sané with #60 paper then #120 and crime. Almost all the holes will be filled. Anything deep or irregular must be filled with BONDO. The results are 2 laminations strength with the 602. & doz. glass and a nice smooth surface that did not require a lot of sanding.
