Hangar 7

In this video we go from start to finish with the manufacturer of the wing ribs. We show several methods by which you can make your own rib bending fixtures.

In this "how it's made" episode of building the EMG-6 we look at a cool little trick for converting pool noodles into flight control gap seals. For details on how we manufactured the cutting dies and refined the cutting process visit the EMG web site. http://www.electricmotorglider.com/2016/06/video-cutting-flight-control-gap-seals.html

"How it's Made" (Building the EMG-6) Wing Strut Fitting. CNC machining using the Daewoo Lynx 200 CNC lathe.

In this "How it's Made" episode of Building the EMG-6 we see how the Wing Rib Attach Fittings are manufactured.

Another episode of "Building the EMG-6". In this episode we look at the process of marking tubing. Pretty much every component on the EMG 6 uses tubing for construction. In this video we show you how to accurately and easily mark tubing for these applications.

In this video we go through the entire process of punch testing the Dacron sailcloth on a Rans S 12 using a Maule punch tester and a Quicksilver Dacron sailcloth punch tester.

In this video we show some of the processes by which we load test many of the components on the EMG-6 electric motor glider. We have a test fixture which we have built from steel tube and a hydraulic system off of an old dump truck. We have a 10,000 pounds load cell and digital readout for keeping track of the load imposed on individual components as we pull them to failure.
