| John M Oshust | 28-Feb-15 17:08 | | This past Friday around 11 AM I retuned from my annual physical. I was the recipient of the “you will live out the day” guarantee. Rather than faux pulleys, the design team has decided to remanufacture and make functional pulleys. After I retuning from the doctor, we knocked out 8 pulleys. After my thrilling physical exam, it felt a bit different sitting on the model shop stool, but the feeling will pass with time. I remembered that in the scrap box there were many wood discs from previous builds. Gumby made the pulleys and I installed Al tube bearings, wooden sheaves, some roof flashing for a bracket, and a functioning aileron cable control pulley set emerged. While not strong enough for a flight model, they will serve my purpose in showing how things worked in WW1 aero planes. |
