Subject: [FlyRotary] Progress on Hangar
door
Here's a couple of photos on hangar door progress.
Had to add a small beam (box beam) on the outer edge to keep it from sagging
in the middle. But, have the sheathing 95% done. Door is not fully open
in the photo as I discovered that the end of the hydraulic cylinder that had
the fittings was hitting a trim piece of the sheathing and so stopped
it. Will need to trim that piece for clearance.
The bad news is I discovered my hydraulic cylinders are
the wrong type for the application and are now seeping fluid. They work
fine in pushing open the door but are not designed to take any side
load. What I get for going for the cheapest {:<(. But, I now
have a better knowledge of the different type cylinders and will shortly order
the right ones.
