Finally got the pylon framed and installed on the fuselage.
Also tied and braced the pylon to the fuselage with front and back carbon fiber hollow tube struts.

And so, another adventure in the world of Klarich Kits is coming to an end. All that remains is for Jack Hiner to drive down to KY, pick it up, and start the covering process.
I made some progress on Jack’s Andersen Pylon, even worked on the pylon mount a bit.
Got the Saddle area for the pylon mounting sheeted.
Then installed the servos, pushrods using Sullivan Gold N cable hooked up the elevator and rudder, and lastly the compartment for Motor Battery, ESC and Receiver/servo batteries.
What’s left is the Pylon and some finish work at the Horizontal stab to fuselage junction.

I got the landing gear made of 3/16 hard music wire made and mounted it and the motor to the fuselage.
The motor mount is made up of a lamination of 3/8 aircraft plywood back plate with v groove milled into it for landing gear,
Then a 3/16 aircraft plywood plate over that with the back plate of the motor mount then over that.
All held in place with hardened 6-32 Allen cap screws.
The motor mount back plate is strengthened to the fuselage with plywood gussets and then at the joint
It is covered at the joint with 8 oz. fiberglass tape.
The motor has a 13.5” clearance over the ground to minimize ground strikes.
Next the pylon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| 110% Anderson Pylons built from Klarich Kits at the 2001 SAM Champs/Vegas The blue and yellow one was by Jim Kincy of CA. I don't know who built the one with the orange flames. Both were flown in Glow Antique. Long motor runs call for BIG models! |
