    Thanks

    Stunning drawing Ross. Is that Solidworks?

    Good luck with your seals – hope someone can come up with an answer for you – might be difficult…

    Hi,
    We do use Solidworks but this assembly we have done up in ProDesktop which is a students version of ProEngineer.We have three guys doing the designs.One uses ProD exclusively,the other uses Solidworks exclusively and I mix between the two,rather unsuccesfully that is..We also use CAD as sometimes it is quicker and easier in some places.
    With the rubbers we might try a brake reconditioning shop.
    Cheers

    Seeing it takes about 2000 hours these days to overhaul a Merlin to Airworthy condition your going to need a looooong DVD to record it.There is a lot of stuff online,manuals etc and lots of merlins in museums etc.Best bet is to get onto one of the specialised V12 repair shops around the world,open a dialogue and see where you go.It will be hard as a lot of shops involved are touchy about their work being publisized.With 10,s of thousands of dollars being involved with an engine that goes into an airframe worth hundreds of thousands I would be touchy to.

    Common sense..that thought pattern where one has to demonstrate self responsability.

    Thing I learnt about screwdrivers is the longer the better.My “screwbuster” is a large file handle with a two foot length of quarter inch steel brake line,ending in a quarter inch socket welded on.The socket accepts all the right screw bits.It is the torque of the screwdriver that does the work.

    Problem with Spit frames are that they are unique for every spit.Pulling one out of one and fitting it to another wont work unless you use new undrilled skins.

    Built by Rod Hatfield who owns a Hot Rod shop down at Castlemaine in Victoria Australia many a year ago.Exported to the states IIRC.

    restored or replica

    The new Boomer is more new build around an original frame using traditional style of manufacture.

    Size matters?

    If size is a concern,although nothing a guy likes to admit.Just build a cockpit section,plug it into a Pc system with a FlightSim and have a ball.Check the net for how to,s.:D Or call up NialPatty here on the forum.The museum he is at just built two.
    Here is ours so far.We are building to take around to shows plus to give us experience in doing tinwork so we don,t stuff up the real thing.:o
    Yes we make heaps of stuff ups..Lots of them:(
