Zeus-cat Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 It has been quite a while since I posted an update on the B-17 restoration that I am working on. Quote
JensenPark Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Thanks for the update and your time on this Zeus. Please do me a favour and keep Dubbo away from it. Quote
Dubbo Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 WTF!!! It's not ready yet?? You've been at it a year mate......c'mon. Quote
Waldo.Pepper Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Great project indeed. I am green. Would be happy to devote some time to such a project! If I may, I the pins are called Clecos. They are basicaly clamps that are sprung internaly. http://yardstore.com/index.cfm?Action=V ... ategory=89 The clecos feature prominantly in both A Plane is Born and A Helicopter is Born. Two fun tv series from England where a host builds plane/helicopter, then flies it at the end. Quote

Zeus-cat Posted December 23, 2006 Author Posted December 23, 2006 Miscellaneous photos. The English wheel is a device that you use to put curves in sheet metal. Quote
