Dave Tate - TR-4 #4052 Construction Photos


The inner skin for the door has been tacked
into place and the window has been set
in place.  NOTE!  In this photo you can
clearly see the NACA air inlet.  A close
look at the photo below shows that Dave
has moved the inlet from the lower area
used on the prototype to a higher location.
Another view of the window installation.
You can clearly see the old location for the
NACA inlet.  
This view shows the completed windscreen
mounting flange for allowing a drop in
installation of the windscreen.  
The windscreen will just drop into place and
needs no special positioning before finish.
Fill in the gap around the windscreen with a
micro mix and lay down a prepreg tape to
finish.  Great Idea Dave.
Underside view of the process for installing
the windscreen.  It's a whole lot easier to
hold everything in place and work on it like
this than trying to hang upside down and
hold it in place once the top is installed.
