More B-17 parts
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:34 am
A variation of this message will be going out to the B-17 Users Group,
but I thought this would serve a good place to ask, too.
We are currently prioritizing some new parts for our B-17,
and as the expense per part goes down with quantity, I'm wanting
to know if there is anyone out there needing any of the following parts:
Longerons:
BAC1506-510 (Thin longeron used in the cockpit)
BAC1506-511 (Thick longeron used in the keels, for example)
Square Aluminum Tube:
BAC1501-9505 (.188" walls)
The square tube is used in the bombay catwalk and wing root,
and is almost non-existant (stock wise) in 2024T3. This is a good
opportunity to replace (not just patch) damaged catwalk spars.
Contact me if you have questions about their use.
If you need just one or two pieces, this is an opportunity
to get them cheap. Also, Murphy loves airplanes. If you
buy it, you'll never need it. If you need it, there either won't
be any, or it will cost you an arm and a leg.
We also have large bulb angle stringers for the lower waist
fuselage, BAC1515-507, and a few pieces of the extrusion,
already stretchformed, for making Bulkhead #3.
We also have a recommendation:
