Guest Flygirl Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Qwerty,Thanks for the input. I have a range of saws at home for cutting various materials but immediately went for the Hack saw with diomond blade for one reason only. My Compound Drop saw is large and we simply ran out of bench space to be able to utilise it. Lucky there wasn't that much that needed cutting...LOL. I found that a 4.2m work bench and 1.2m wide the with of the std sheet . was ok act. the boxthe kit is delivered in made my work bench.
wokbat1954 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Hey there Flygirl. Dimensions on the bench are about spot on. The main reason our bench is 1.1Mtr wide is that I gotthe timber from my work after we removed soe shelving. Didnt realise it was not 1.2 wide until we put it together. Our Fuselage is exactly 1.1M wide (42") so it fits the bench with nothing to spare. When it come to the wing build, it may be a bit smll and thats where he 1.2M bench may come in handy. When we get to it, I think the slightly smaller size will help is in setting up the washout on the tips. We will have to wait and see, but will definitely let everyone know. How far along is your build, and , Is it a Sierra , Ceetah or something else? Cheers
Louie Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hey Toby Just went to check out your blog and getting a message that it has been hacked. I am hoping all your good work is still ok and that this has not caused you any grief. Cheers Rob

Hope you are back online soon Toby, we are all enjoying your build.
batesey Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I'm working on the problem guys...seems as though it's not just my site but a global server attack. What a waste of time.

I used an 5"angle grinder with the thin metal cutoff blades on ALL my cutting needs including long cuts [leading edge trimming]on the 601xl Cheers
winsor68 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hey..the link to your blog has been hacked...or is it just my computer???
Guest Qwerty Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I used an 5"angle grinder with the thin metal cutoff blades on ALL my cutting needs including long cuts [leading edge trimming]on the 601xl Cheers For some reason the 1 mm cutoff wheels work on Aluminium. Dont try the other cutoff wheels or grinding dicks, you will find yourself in a world of hurt.
batesey Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Dont try the other cutoff wheels or grinding dicks, you will find yourself in a world of hurt. No wonder it would hurt!
batesey Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Seems as though after a very long night, I am back up and running. Thanks for your patients guys and once again, enjoy the blog. Cheers, Toby
Louie Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Great news Toby. Keep up the good work and sounds like you could catch up on some sleep.
Chris Willars Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Seems as though after a very long night, I am back up and running. Thanks for your patients guys and once again, enjoy the blog.Cheers, Toby WOO HOO, YE HAAH !!!! Thanks Toby Chris (yep I am a bit mad)
maddog63 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Toby, I been following or progress with great intrest. I've seen you've had probs with your blog, but I still can't get on. Are there still problems. Can,t wait for the next update. Mick
batesey Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hey Mick, There are no longer any issues that I know of with the blog...I have everything back up and it's been running for the past 5 days without any issues. Can you describe the problems you are having. I know that Wokbat1954 (my dad) was having issues with the new IE8 so I told him to use FireFox. I exclusively use FireFox to browse the web on both Mac and PC, the blog works flawlessly on both. As a side note, empty your internet cache and see f you can refresh the site...it may be that your computer is stuck on old cache. Let me know how you go. Cheers Toby
Louie Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Toby I am having problems accessing the blog as well since the problems. Site comes up with an error message 'IE cannot access Operation Aborted' Rob
slartibartfast Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Ditto here at work with IE, but works fine in Firefox. I'm getting the banner and menu bar / sidebar, but clicking any item shows some loading activity, but the content area remains blank and I get the following error: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Timestamp: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 05:33:01 UTC Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917) Line: 0 Char: 0 Code: 0 URI: http://www.bx2.com.au/
batesey Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hey Guys, Yeah, it's as I thought, Microsoft have changed the way pages render in IE8 and thus have broken what was working, AGAIN! Thanks Micrsoft!!! This happens EVERY time they update software.Then we have to keep adding crappy code to accommodate their crappy browser. No other web browser does this..such as life..it's gonna take time to fix (if I can be bothered), in the mean time, if you would still like to follow my progress, I suggest that you download Firefox and use that to view not just my site, but any website. Cheers fellas...I hope you guys are motivated enough to get FF and still view my blog. Toby
wokbat1954 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 Follow the yellow brick road Hello Chaps, Like my learned son says, just load up Firefox and away you go. I have had to alter a few things to get all my other sites working properly but the change from I.E was definitely worth it. If you dont, you might mss out on the tail feathers. Defintely a quick build kit, because it took me three weeks to get my wooden tailplane built for the Max and I reckon we will have the Sierras built within 1 week. Cheers Boys
maddog63 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks . Looks like firefox is the way to go. I did use a PC with IE8 last night and managed to get on to the blog but if others are having issuse I'll avoid this I think. Again Thanks Mick
Chris Willars Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Hows the build going Toby? Haven't had an update fix for a while:thumb_up:
batesey Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Hey Guys, Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of weeks...I got thrown quite a curve ball, but work has progressed and I will endeavour to put up as much stuff as I can over the coming weeks. We are currently working on the Wing Main Spars. I'll let you all know when I have put some posts on the blog. Cheers Toby
Chris Willars Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Toby, I was looking at all the great pics you posted of your fuz build and wondered what you were using to bend your gussets? (fuz and gusset should NOT be in the same sentence ) Do you have a small brake or a technique you might like to share? Best wishes Chris
batesey Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Hey Chris, The Gussets are bent in a small 30" Bending Brake...the large bends like the one on the parcel shelf (yet to be posted) are done by using 2 bits of wood, a vice and 2 clamps. I actually have this stuff ready to be put up on the blog, just have to pull my finger out and finish off the descriptions of some of the pics. I'll have this stuff up on the blog soon so you can see. Cheers Toby
Guest danimator Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Hi Toby I have been through your site a couple times, love what you are doing there. It actually feels like I'm in the shop with you!! Just wondering if you are updating somewhere else, as the last update shows as August 13th. . . Hopefully everything is fine, it's a matter of lack of time to update. Cheers Dano
