Hi Greg. What gauge aluminum are the ribs made of? I am looking at the manual and it says .025 so 1/4 but that can't be right. This looks like 1/16 or 1/8th ?? Thanks man
It is indeed .025" sheet, which is 25/1000 inches thick. 1/4 would be .250, not .025." Aircraft aluminum is sold in thicknesses in thousandths of an inch for sheet in the U.S.A. Aluminum plate would be sold in 1/8" (.125) or 1/4" (.250), etc. In other parts of the world, it is sometimes sold by gauge.
@@GregsZenithSTOLCH750 ahh OK that lends a lot of clarification. I was watching you handle your nose ribs and looking at the thickness after just looking at my manual I was wondering what wasn't adding up... haha. I'm in Canada, so gauges are used.
Hi Greg. i have a plasma cnc with an Hyperterm 30 and an Hypetherm 45. i was wondering if i could cut my parts with plasma .The 30 amp fine cutting cuts a very fine kerf..... do you think it will alter the 6061-T6 properties? I have a 48 x 96 Router cnc but i dont have a vaccum table on it...so no way to really hold large sheets without using double sided tape...and that's not ideal. Any comments?
I'm sure you could cut your parts on a plasma cutter, but I do not have any knowledge in plasma cutting. I did all my stuff the old fashioned way (shears, snips, band saw), but I don't know that any one way is better than another. Might be a fun exercise to do it with plasma, since you have the equipment!

@@micus09 It can be a little confusing at first.

The plasma cut will likely soften the edge slightly, probably not by a considerable amount
hi how can i get the plane design diagram
You will need to order a set of blueprints from Zenith Aircraft Company in Mexico, Missouri, USA.
@@gregoryharris6834 Can I get the blueprint you have?
@@احمداللهيبي-ك7غ No, sorry. They are serial numbered and registered with the company.
@@gregoryharris6834 Thank you very much, may God protect you
