I've spent a lot of time going back and forth about the best height for the table, stool, chair, roll-around seat, etc. Just wait til you get to the videos of the horizontal stabilizer. My back hurst now just thinking about it.
@@missiletwentynine2667 My husband and I are big fans of you and Vlad (Tech Fun Style). I’m always pointing out what the “Missile Twenty Nine Guy says…” 🤣
Are the skins and the parts that they are riveted to dimpled with the same size dies. For example if you dimpled skin with 100deg die are you dimpling the ribs and spars the with the same 100deg die? I was curious if you needed a different size for them to mate together.
Great question, actually. Most people use the same dies for skins and structure. There are “substructure dies” that have a slightly different angle, but they aren’t absolutely necessary. I bought some substructure dies recently and used them on parts of the rudder. I could tell the dimples nested a little better, but I’m not sure it made much difference after riveting. Another big advantage of the substructure die set is that the female die is a little narrower in diameter and makes it easier to dimple in tight spots on rib flanges. There are also fuel tank dies that take into account the thickness of the sealant. I don’t have those (yet?) and think they are the least necessary. I think the same 100 degree dies can be used for everything, and the substructure dies may be a good substitute for fuel tank dies.
I got it from cleavelandtool.com, P/N SNBF70, but I don't see it on their site anymore and the link in my past order gives me a 404. Link to a similar product from brown: www.browntool.com/Listview/tabid/344/CategoryID/49/Level/a/ProductID/179/Default.aspx. No, didn't look at Numatx but I'll check it out.
Ah, good question... It was the designation (like serial number) of the Jupiter-C booster that launched Explorer 1, the US's first satellite. You can see the number in "code" as UE on the side of the rocket.
Do you think a 4” no hole yoke might work for driving those outer rivets on the bottom of the forward spar? I am way behind you at this point but your videos will really help me as I progress. Do you happen to have a FB page or other social media platforms that you work with? Thanks! Bill
Maybe. I do have a 4” thin nose yoke, and I want to say I tried just about every yoke at every angle I could think of. The main problem was the body of the squeezer getting in the way. But I don’t think I’ve seen lots of other people complaining about getting those rivets so maybe I just made too much of it. Let me know if you find something that works better for you. No, I don’t really use FB or any other social medial.
@@williamspencer7012 Nope. Engineer by trade. Airplane guy my whole life, though. Balsa wood and tissue paper, to just about anything you could strap an .049 to and toss into the air... RC for many years back when RC meant nitro-methane and castor oil ... So I figured it was about time to build a real one.
I was so glad to see you pull up a stool. My back hurt just watching you:)😀

And a BIG thank you for organizing and numbering your videos. Holy cow! So hard to pick up where you left off when uploads are not numbered!
@@annearmstrong2275 Oh my! I'm flattered, and I feel like I should offer some kind of disclaimer ;-) Glad the videos are helpful!

Do you have a link for the foot control? Did you ever look into the Numatx squeezer system?

Where does Missile 29 come from??
