Training kids to build

My younger son has not been interested in the Waiex yet. We have been working on a project of his own design. It is a chance to put tools in his hands - saws, files, drills, and so on.

Re: Cotton Waiex 191 - N191YX

We finished riveting the skeletons together. I drilled on the hinges tonight. I made a little tool to help with the drilling - a piece of furring strip with a groove to clear the hinge.

Re: Combination switch/fuses

We had a similar switch on our tow reels at Harris Hill where I used to tow gliders. You would flip the switch on in the pattern once you were below 100 mph and were supposed to turn it off when it was retracted.
