To fit the spar webs I figure I need about 8 ft by 35 inches surface area
of ply to cover all the spars, I would assume the grain in a 8 ft length runs
lengthwise in the sheet, the plans MAKE A POINT of noting the grain to run
vertically, so my question is what do most people do, cut 4 ft lengths and
scarf together?
Next question is there is nothing more annoying than fuel sloshing around
in the tank giving all sorts of strange readings on the fuel sender, so I
thought some sort of stand pipe arrangement with a small feed hole in the
bottom, so that this basically acts as a mechanical averager of teh fuel
contents, the pipe keeping an average level while the rest sloshs around
inside, anyone know of any type of sending unit which will fit into such a
small hole? That or either fiddle around with electronic averager units on a
conventional sender, but I really don't want to be bothered with op amps and
time constants, and integrating, getting tired of all that crap, something
cheap and simple and easy to get hold of, any ideas?????
Tending to think that a welded 2-3 mil alumimium tank might be the most
crash resistant/puncture proof thing available, around about 70 litres/ 15
gallon capacity, any comments?
