Onex build log: May 2015
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Tuesday, May 05, 2015. While waiting for new heads, I started polishing. Actually quite cool, but takes a loooong time, and lots of work. I'm going to paint everything underneath with 3 in 1 paint, one coat. According to "David A" at sonexbuilders.net, polishing is like: The way I tell when it is sufficiently polished is when the hazy image of Joe cool pilot becomes a sharp clear image of an old fart.

Onex build log: USB charger
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/2015/05/usb-charger.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Monday, May 04, 2015. Bought a USB charger, Charge2. From Harkwood Services Ltd. It is specially made for aviation with filters made to not cause radio noise. Looks very nicely made. Monday, May 04, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My name is Bjørnar Svingen, and i am building this Onex experimental aircraft. The main purpose of this blog is to log the progress. It may also be of interest to other builders. Engines and stuff 1 of 2.

Onex build log: VW engines
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/p/vw-engines.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. VW engines has been used to power light aircraft since the second world war. It all started in France according to a very interesting webinar. VW made at least 3 major flat 4 engines, or boxer engines. I don't know what their real names are, but the popular naming is Type 1, Type 4 and Wasserboxer (Water boxer). All these engines are used as aircraft engines. On the wasserboxer rather than an actual VW crankcase. The crankcase is made of al...

Onex build log: Engine
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/2015/04/engine.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Tuesday, April 07, 2015. Continued with the engine. The pressure regulation valves had to be smoothed a bit to fit. To get them out after finding out they didn't move freely was a bit difficult. Had a metal brush with a plastic handle that fitted exactly, it did the trick. Last summer I purchased a kit of tools for VW engines from Great Plains. The valve lifter holder proved to be really useful. Tuesday, April 07, 2015. Engines and stuff 1 of 2.

Onex build log: January 2015
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Painted the cabin interior. Masked and painted the cabin interior with the PU paint. The result does show I am no painter, but it's good enough for me, and looks cool satin gray and solid PU'ish. The info for the paint is here. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Etiketter: Cabin interior paint. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Fixed the wheel pant plates, riveted on the plate nuts. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Engine painted, a...

Onex build log: Engines and stuff 1 of 2
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/p/engine-data.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Engines and stuff 1 of 2. Engines are fascinating. Thanks to the internet, most data is available also. So I wanted to see some more characteristics of VW engines and see how they compare against other well known aircraft engines. The table below shows lots of different engines with some basic characteristics. AeroVee 2.1 T. Limbach 2400 DT.X. Motorav 2.4 R. Motorav 2.6 R. Motorav 2.8 R. Sauer 2400 UL Al. Sauer 2400 UL Mg. Bore - Stroke ratio.

Onex build log: Flywheel shims
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/2015/04/flywheel-shims.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Tuesday, April 07, 2015. The gap shall be between 0.08 mm and 0.15 mm. Stacked up shims so the gap became 0.1 mm. The holes for the dowel pins required deburring before the wheel would seat properly. Tuesday, April 07, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Onex build log: Engines and stuff 2 of 2
http://onex-svingenb.blogspot.com/p/engine-and-stuff-2.html
An online log of the making of a Onex experimental aircraft. Engines and stuff 2 of 2. For an aircraft weight is very important. An engine with higher power per kg is therefore better. The next table is sorted according to HP per kg. Motorav 2.4 R. Motorav 2.6 R. Motorav 2.8 R. Sauer 2400 UL Al. AeroVee 2.1 T. Sauer 2400 UL Mg. Limbach 2400 DT.X. There are no conclusions to be drawn from this questionable theoretical maneuver, but this doesn't mean some insight can't be found. Motorav 2.4 R. At the very ...
