Building the aircraft takes precedence over updates, but more photos will be posted of my DW-1 over time. The Chilton D.W.1 was a racing aircraft in its day. The aircraft is extremely efficient providing respectable speed for horsepower. For more information the best source is Roy Nerou's Chilton website. There is also a Chilton DW1 Yahoo group with information regarding building.Clarke W Tatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13675131260870265298noreply@blogger.comBlogger62125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492996082782588989.post-73803910562320882332014-06-15T20:57:00.002-04:002014-06-15T21:00:37.645-04:00Drawing the plan detail for the original Chilton Carden Ford prototype tail.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This has meant additional work but the coat is even on all surfaces. My Chilton project updates have been sparse, shorter and less detailed than I would prefer. The workshop is in the process of being moved to a new location due to my work. This has slowed progress as is obvious by the lack of posting. The project is only on hiatus and I am hopeful that 2013 will mean renewed progress, and find this blog more interesting.<br />

I have chosen to redo my tailplane spar in Douglas Fir. I have acquired some very nice Douglas Fir from a local building center and have tested it with the result being very good. While the Douglas Fir is heavier it is not uncommon for the Chilton DW-1 to have some weight added to the back to account for a degree of nose heaviness. How much weight is added? The flanges of the tailplane spar in Sitka Spruce were 8.05 ounces and 8.8 ounces. In Douglas Fir they were 9.75 ounces and 9.55 ounces. A total of 2.45 ounces and in this location on the Chilton will not be an issue. The total weight of the Sitka Spruce spar was 1 lb. 5 oz. and the Douglas Fir spar 1 lb. 7.9 oz. a difference of only 2.9 oz. Not too bad for a $3.09 USD piece of Douglas Fir. The weight per ounce was .25 ounce per cubic inch or 27 lbs. a cubic foot. Referencing ANC-19 Table 2-5 the specific gravity value is .433. According to my ANC-18 Table 2-6 shows an average specific gravity for light Douglas Fir of .43 and a minimum of .38. So the weight is within range.<br />
<br />
I also had Sitka Spruce spar stock arrive from Wicks Aircraft this week. The wood was a revelation compared to the Sitka Spruce from Public Lumber. If you need Sitka Spruce and need capstrips and small lengths of Sitka Spruce the wood from Public Lumber works alright. The service and quality from Wicks Aircraft was exceptional. For aircraft I must say that the quality from Wicks is there if you pay the price and well worth it.<br />
<br />
On the other end of the spectrum there is sometimes a find to be had at the local home center as the Douglas Fir I found in the past week demonstrates. If you are really new to working with wood for aircraft, I don't think I would suggest beginning to build with home center wood though. I am only considering home center wood after cutting wood now for about 4 years and have seen a few things. If in doubt cut the defect out! It is better doing it before a component is built and thinking better of it and choosing to redo it, as I am doing this week.<br />

The Chilton DW-1 Tailplane and Elevator hinges have been drawn in CAD for having them made. I am still deciding if I will create them by hand as I originally planned, or going this route.

I finally had an opportunity to spend the time needed to build a scarfing jig for my spar plywood. I used a <a href="http://www.jodel.com/index.asp?p=scarfing&construction" target="_blank">jig shown on Jodel.com </a>as an inspiration. The trim router with a 1/4" birch ply base worked quite well on my initial trial.<br />

The Gel Magic works well and I like it for this type of assembly better than the T-88.
