Sorry Eric I had a look but could not find any in the workshop.

Dave

Thanks for looking Dave. We’ll find some somewhere though.

They also require a small rubber retaining ring to be fitted once the Oddie fastener is through the panel to make it captive and “floating”. Small neoprene rubber O-rings are easily and cheaply available for this, though I don’t know what the situation would be for a flying aircraft. Original stock rings would probably be perished by now.

Thanks Anon, that is news to me, I have only seen them without (on gliders). Have suitable o-rings though, so will find out what’s the better option…

Eric

Good one, let me get back to you on that one. The bit they fit on (the fuselage) is in storage until the end of January due to other workshop engagements.

Could you tell me the tyre size for a T.21 please

It’s a 6.00-4 6pr tyre. If you have a servicable one to spare, I’d be more than happy to take it off your hands 😉

Alternatively, there’s a BGA-approved Mod out there for replacing it with a 355×150 4pr tyre with a 5.00-4 (TR67) tube.

More pics. We finally got around to rigging the entire aft bit of the aircraft last week. All attachments are now correctly fitted, the tailplane struts have been adjusted accordingly to accommodate the new hardware in the fuselage. The vertical tail has received the cut-out for the elevator, allowing room for it to be trial-rigged as well. Note new trailing edges going into the elevator. The old ones contained some appalling repairs.

In the meantime, we are looking for the special bolt in the picture, albeit of a smaller size (about 3 cm in length) to fit the pilots’ backrests and the tail fairing. Anybody knows where to get these (we need three)?
