![]() 2724 forum posts 1020 photos | This is one of the 'hardest' aluminium alloys, Ernie. Aluminium 2024-T351 The aluminum hardness classification of 2024-T351 is one of the hardest aluminum alloys, widely used in the metal industry. This alloy has good formability but poor strength when it is heated; due to this drawback, it cannot be used for welding purposes. Even though it is the hardest of all the aluminum alloys, it wears out naturally and under stress, just like other classes of aluminum. Some of the elements added to this alloy are manganese, magnesium and copper. The 2024-T51 hardness classification is used in applications, including riveting and airplane construction. Not that sure you need it that hard though... Is there a reason you're not planning to use a commercial oleo ( HK or Banggood )? ... Cheers Chris |

![]() 2514 forum posts 20 photos | Hi McG Well Chris, thats a help....HK have exactly what I want, but I do like the challenge of trying to make one with my very limited lathe skills. Ive already learned quite a bit about grades of alloy from your post I suppose I prefer to problem solve rather than build with my credit card ernie |

![]() 2514 forum posts 20 photos | Hi Fury builders, Some bits of alloy have arrived, so I'm thinking about the best way to design and build a working oleo Anyone else interested? Any ideas? ernie |
McG 6969 | 02/05/2019 18:48:06 |
![]() 2724 forum posts 1020 photos | Interested? yes of course, Ernie. "Any ideas"? No, not a clue, sorry. Except maybe some springs from a soap dispenser... if they are strong enough? All the best, young man. Cheers Chris |

![]() 9289 forum posts 4116 photos | Of course we are interested Ernie I was just going to copy a regular oleo just a bit thinner Cheers Danny |

![]() 5967 forum posts 2494 photos | I think this is a great idea, I just wish I had the engineering craft skills and the kit e.g. a lathe, to be able to do things like this. So many things that it would be possible to have a go at. I will watch this with great interest! |

![]() 21 forum posts 6 photos | My build is progressing. The fuselage is almost there - I was going to add a picture, but no matter how hard I tried the orientation was wrong. I'll try again sometime. However here is a picture of my interpretation of former F6 against that supplied. How does it compare with your Danny? Graham |

![]() 9289 forum posts 4116 photos | Hi Graham, I cannot really tell from the picture. Have you got the Pdf file i created with all the formers redrawn. Pm me your e mail address and I will forward the pdf Cheers Danny |
Graham Donaldson | 06/05/2019 15:56:39 |
![]() 21 forum posts 6 photos | No, Danny I do not have the file. . A copy would be great before I commit to final fuz construction. |

![]() 56 forum posts 7 photos | Hi chaps, my Fury is just about finished. The CoG is more or less as per the plan. It weighs about 9 lbs with an OS 95 up front - any comments on this? I know that the tailplane should be chequered, but I've had enough - maybe do it later! Richard |
