![]() In the case of mass-produced jewelry, what did it matter if the pin broke easily? When supply was great enough and the cost low enough, if the pin broke, then simply buy a new one. The war-time expansion of the industrial base during WW2, and its excess increased capacity after the war, ushered in the age of cheap, mass production where price became more important than quality. Competition was keen, and individual jewelers tried their best to differentiate their product from their competitor's. Thick pins (which didn't break easily), pins that only opened 90 or so degrees (which were easier to pin on), heavy clasps (easier to use) became the norm for "quality" jewelry, and consumers came to expect these touches.Įssentially, prior to WW2, only a few firms could manufacture jewelry on a large scale. I order to showcase the quality of a jeweler's art, they would put the very best findings available on their locally made product. On a broach the clasp, pin, and hinge.īecause it generally took as much work to make findings as the jewelry itself, manufacturing jewelers (like Bailey Banks and Biddle, or Robbins) sold pre-manufactured findings to jewelers around the country. On a bracelet or necklace the clasp and hoop are the findings. In the case of light engine use (SE, Hirth F-33) is rescue system mounted on the firewall.Like a lot of "Rules" when it comes to wing collecting, this one is not as hard and fast as it would seem.Įarly on, oh say from 1850 to about 1945 (the beginning of the Industrial Age to about the end of WW2), one of the hall-marks of quality jewelry were the "findings." Findings are the parts of Jewelry that are not part of the design. The auxiliary rope is attached to fuselage behind cabin. The front ropes are attached to upper engine mount hinges. The container of rescue system is attached to fuselage bulkhead behind pilot´s back. The airplane could be equipped with rescue system GRS 4/240, Magnum 300 or similar weight range. It is possible to built airplane also less rescue system. The COM antenna is built in the airframe. There is place for COM transceiver and TPD with installing diameter of 57 mm in the instrument panel. There is enough space for any engine gauges combination. The EFIS-es up to Dynon SV-D700 size could be used. The airplane is usually fitted with basic flying instruments-airspeed indicator, altimeter, compass, vario and slip indicator. It is possible to place 12 V outlet under instrument panel for GPS etc. The bus is juiced by battery and is charged by alternator on all offered engine kits. It is made of fiberglass-PVC foam sandwich. The integral tank of 35 l capacity is placed behind firewall. It is possible to use any engine of 24-50 HP power range up to 42 kg (93 lbs) weight. The rudder is controlled via cables of 2 mm diameter. The horizontal tail and flaperons are controlled via pushrods and bellcranks. The fin has main composite spar with carbon caps and HT hinge.Ĭould be performed in TD, TG or TGC version. Disassembly of HT is made thru disconnection of control and tab rods and pulling out of pin. Tails are of similar construction as wings- on composite spar are attached polystyrene ribs and plywood skin. The all movable horizontal tail (HT) has anti-servo tab and is statically balanced. The connection of flaperons to controls is performed by simple inserting of control pin into slot. Disassembly of wings takes 5 and assembly 10 minutes. Connection of wings to fuselage is made thru two main and two auxiliary pins. The weight of painted wing half is 12 kg (27 lbs). Wingtips are made of extruded polystyren with fiberglass layup or premolded are vacuum bagged sandwich. It consists of composite main spar with carbon caps on which are glued ribs made of extruded polystyren. The NACA inlet for ventilation is on the right side of cabine hood. ![]() The composite cabin hood with polycarbonate windshield of 1,5 mm thickness opens to the right side and could be performed as lockable. Additional baggage compartment could be made behind pilot bulkhead when is rescue system not used. The baggage compartment of 40 l (1,5 ft3) is behind removable seat back. The plywood tunel with wing and upper gear legs mounts (TD) is under pilot knees. The inside width of cockpit in shoulder place is 54 cm (21,3″). The height of cabine is possible to modify for taller pilot if necessary (up to 2 m pilot in XL version- see following folder). This assures comfort also for 185 cm (6,1 ft) tall pilot in standard version. The pilot seat back is inclined under 40°. The fuselage is of wood truss design with prevalent section 15×15 mm covered with plywood of 0,8-3 mm thickness.
