Pedestal Fans
to blow fresh air across work surfaces. We use plenty of these in our factory.
Permagrit
-type Shaped Abrasive Tools
for shaping/sanding glass fibre parts (try to get a set
of various shapes). Or make your own
Sanding Blocks
as described further down the page.
Pneumatic tools
are great if you have a compressor that can drive them – drills, jigsaws,
various sanding tools are widely available. We use plenty of these in our factory too.
Scales
for weighing the aircraft: must be capable of weighing up to 150kg. Regular bathroom
scales are fine for this task. A single scale can be used, but these scales are quite reasonably
priced (less than $50 each in Australia currently) and the task is much easier with 3 scales.
Setsquare
the long builders type with each side at least 500mm in length.
Silicone Sealer
,
General Purpose
or
Roof and Gutter
sealer, must suitable for use on metal.
Spade
Drill Bits
as used in woodwork (pictured at right).
Used to recess the threaded inserts in the ventral fin and the
lower strut fairings.
Straightedge
in 2 lengths: a 1 metre builders level type is good for aligning the flaps to wings
and checking the control surface deflections, while a 3 metre long length of 100mm RHS
(rectangular hollow section) aluminium is excellent for checking the rear of the wing and
aligning the horizontal stabiliser: make sure that you buy a straight length with no dents.
Sanding Blocks
-
stapling 80 grit emery tape around the ends of a length of straight timber
about 600mm long (shown below left) is very useful for achieving straight edges on items
such as trailing edges, flaps, etc. Taping emery tape to a short length of tubing (shown below
right) can be useful for things like the final sizing of the fuel filler body holes in the wing/tank
and so on. You will use plenty of sanding blocks as you progress through your build, and with
a little bit of imagination you can make them in almost any size and shape that you need.
TorqueSeal
– brand name security sealing lacquer used to show that nuts have been tightened
to safety or to the recommended torque setting and require no further work. Try aircraft parts
or engineering suppliers for this product. Comes in several colours.
Loctite compounds
This brand name compound is considered essential in the construction of your Jabiru.
