Sky 120 LMA Trainer

Wings

Another close up photo where the male peg is insreted into the scrap block in the left wing making it very strong, a good tight fit.

[Geoff McVey]

In this photo I have placed both wings together then placed this on top the fuselage, I'm now starting to see how big the Sky 120 is, as you can also see the Sky 120 now has a set of wheels.

[Geoff McVey]

Just another view of how big the wing is.

Wing Fixing Tongues

These are parts W20 and W21 and when glued together are inserted and glued next to the root rib W1, but because they are not think enough I will be gluing a piece of 1/32 ply inbetween the two to make it the correct thickness.

Wing Fixing Tongue

All 3 parts glued together.

End result.

Razor Plane

Should have bought one of these a long time ago, not so much sanding now.

[Geoff McVey]

Firewall

All holes have now been drilled, next step is to add 3/8 sq hardwood strip for the cowl, and then fit the cowl around the ZG38 SC.

ZG38 SC Trumpet Flange

Both parts dry cleaned.


Both parts glued in place together with 30 min Epoxy, once the glue was placed on both parts I was turning the trumpet for 30 mins until the Epoxy was set to get an even covering.


Test fitted to the ZG38 SC.


Test fit view from a different angle.

Fuel Tank

Parts ready and cleaned.


Vent and overfill put in place towards the rear of the fuel tank, and the filter added inside.

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

Can you adjust that carb link rod back a bit, to give you more thread A, for fitting a lock nut on, and B, to give you some adjustment, it’s at its limit, And I’ve never seen a tank with the vent and fill pipes at the rear? But, can’t see it not working, looking very nice, Geoff, credit to you, and the Razor plane, good, eh?

[Geoff McVey]

Not posted for 2 months, making slow progress, will post more photo's in the next few days of what I have done since my last post.

[Geoff McVey]

I have managed to delete the new thread that I started a month ago, and continue here.

[Geoff McVey]

The fuselage is about 80% complete, there is still to build the fin, rudder, tailplane, elevator etc. I have made a mount to secure the fuel tank behind the firewall. I have mounted the Zenoah 38cc, but only as a temp measure.

A question if I may, I have some linkages/rods to attach to the throttle but not sure how to do this, does anyone have any images of the correct setup, before I drill a hole in the fire wall for the throttle cable.

I have also built the tailwheel assembly but not attached this to the fuselage yet.

I would move your throttle linkage to the rear engine bolt, that way you get a better run to the carb arm.
