Steve Robinson's Clip Wing Project - Part 9

 As posted on the Facebook Monocoupe Aircraft Group:

Clipwing parts. Here's a photo of the master that I used to cast the new fulcrum. The original fulcrum was cast and was of a fairly low grade aluminum. My part was cast in A383 and is a stronger alloy than 6061. Casting is more than adequate for the stress that this part will be subjected to. With the bronze bushings installed there will be no noticeable wear for the load that this part will incur during normal use.

12-12-2024 and 12-16-2024

Crazy late fall weather here, afternoon temps in the mid 60's.  We need rain though.  Two great flights in the 110.
