Hope everone has had a Happy New Year,

 

I have been working on the IFR Probe over the last several days and have made a little progress.

It is just about complete with the exception of the hydraulic plumbing and electrical.

Here are some photos of work to date.

 

First up are the modifications to the airframe including the hinge boxes, door seal flange and upper and lower structural areas on the bay.

Upper and Lower Structure

 

Does anyone have a photo of the lower floor of the bay? I am sure there has to be some type of structrue there.

This is the Door Control Valve; again I am guessing. The small actuating lever is operated by the main deployment arm when it is full stowed.

Actuator installed and attached to deployment arm. Large fitting below attach point is for the hydraulic line attachment.

Nearly all of this was done from the photos on pages 8 and 9 of Squadron's #38 Crusader Walk Around.

I sure could use some help with photos of the lower part on the bay before I commit to my "best" guess as to what type of structure might be needed to support the outer skin of the bay. I may have to take it to work with me and get our aerospace structural engineers to give me their best guess.

 

I went to this level of detail because one this scale needs it and secondly because in my Inflight Display the Probe will be up front to the viewer.

Once I get the plumbing done I will be moving on to the Speed Brake.

If you have not picked up one of Harold's seats from AMS for the F-8 I highly recommend you do so.

They are very nicely detailed and will add greatly to you cockpit area.
