Looking to borrow...

Post by captain_john »

A #10 machine screw dimple die set.

Does anyone have one?

I want to dimple the skins to accept the machine screw and nest them into my lower longs near the tank attach brackets.

I see that others are countersinking the skins, but I would prefer dimpling them.

Can ya hook up a brother?

Ummmm, well...

Hmmmm

Lemme see.

How does a lesson in Ohm's law for free suit you?

:lol:

I can provide one hour of instruction of how it applies to current draw in the case of landing lights!

OH WAIT! I already did that!!!

:mrgreen:

Well then, how about a hamburger at Hangar #5 when you are done building your plane?

You know, everyday's an airshow at Hangar #5!

You got my snail mail addy?

V=IR or if you're over the age of 40 E=IR

I'll even throw in Kirchoff's Law or Thevenin's Theorem for free, your choice.

Can I have the dimpler now? :evil:

C'mon keep the bidding going! :)

I'm an oddball, only 26 but it's E = IR for me.

Mostly because that way, solving it for Power gives you P = IE, and I loves me some PIE! :D


btw, what do you suppose the thevenin equivalent resistance of pie might be?

CJ,

Looking at the picture, I think the #8 dimple die set would work just fine.
Not sure if you will need a #10 ? Before you have someone send you one, stop by the house and bring the screw with you. We can tryout the largest dimple die set I have on a scrap pieces and see.

Paullie!

Look what this turned into!!!

:lol:

I now have a dimple set to use. Machine Man had one and swung by Hangar #5 today before we went flying. You know, everyday's an airshow at Hangar #5!

WS, I tried using a #8 on it but, no joy.

This is DEFINITELY the better way to make this joint.

Thanks All!

Please continue with the Electrical banter. I need to get back into practice. School is starting up next week!

Yah, I know... BEFORE Labor Day!

It's a well know fact that PIE has ZERO resistance for Mr. Thevenin or Scott. In fact it's a super conductor. It adds more weight to a given body than the PIE actually weighs.

Also, electron flow doesn't work in this model. You must use holes. I'm sure you can continue the discussion on PIE holes. :lol:

well, judging by my observation of the flow from PIE to pie holes, I'd have to say that, looking back through the pie, the output impedance of pie must be pretty well matched to the network impediance of the pie hole, because transfer is pretty efficient.

Also, I believe it's been proven that the body is a very effective matching network for transforming pie to thigh space (377 ohms). I have yet to calculate the resonant frequency (in forks per second), which would represent minimal Standing Mouth Ratio.

I think I will!

I need to type it a few more times in order to become 'fully' adjusted to it!
