EP172 Making packers and spacers for the wings of my Fisher Youngster

[@JodelFlyer]

When I was at school and taking staff meetings I would remind my staff that it was about FA2D and they all knew that the expectation would be about ‘fine attention to detail’ and you certainly demonstrate that! 😊

@@JodelFlyer thank you, yes I try to sort out the little thing that way the big things tend to fall in place easier. When I taught mechanics, I always pointed out, attention to the small things will keep the car reliable for longer, after the work.

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

It's all in the little details. You clearly put lots of effort into getting the right parts put together. It feels like only yesterday that you were making ribs. ;)

[@flyingkub]

Thanks Giles, it may seem like yesterday to you but when I look at the amound of dust on them, it appears to be out of the lost ark :-) Time just seems to fly.

An amazing amount of work just for a washer!!! You would have got on well with my Father, he was a perfectionist as well. I have great admiration for you both. Regards Michael

@@michaelchartres well not just a washer a tapered washer.

Some simple looking but complex unsung parts you made there. A good way to control the quality of parts.

[@flyingkub]

Thanks, I thought you would understand the coplexity of the the little parts. :-)

Remarkable attention to detail, I like it👍😊👍

[@flyingkub]

@@musoseven8218 it is these details that improve safety and longevity of the aircraft.

[@musoseven8218]

@flyingkub Amen to that, that's so true, the right ethos.

[@flyingkub]

@@musoseven8218 thank you and good for you to recognise it.

I don't know why, but that green paint looks really appealing. Reminds me of the color of the Spitfire's cockpit interior.

[@flyingkub]

@@goaway7346 it is the same type of paint, I just had it put into a spray can. I like it though as it reminds me of all the WW2 British aircraft I have looked at.

[@flyingkub]

@@jimmyboy163 it is this sort of stuff that will slow you down unless it was with your aircraft to start with.

[@MattProject]

How did you put the correct angled face on the tool?

[@flyingkub]

@@MattProject the angle is given on the plans so a friend machined it for me on a milling machine.
