Lightning F.6 intake ring

Recommended Posts

I have the Dmold corrected item, had a look at it and thought: "so nearly round"

 

I want to try my hand at turning one in alu and 'deforming' it to the right shape (will be hard, as it Is and elusive non circle)

does anybody have four view drawings of the ring (front, back, side, top)?

it would help in determining if it would be worthwhile.

The DaCo Uncovered has standard scale drawings, but that doesn't include a back view. Time for the superheroes - over to John @canberra kid

I've had a look through the only part of an IPC I have but it's not covered in that section unfortunately, or anything useful in the AP's I have, the best I can do is a Warton produced Scale drawing, I can scan it if of interest?

Thank you very much!

It does look like it is a ring pinched at the rear edges of the sides. (Ever so slightly oval)

Well here's hoping for rain this weekend, so I won't have to resume the terrace....😉

I would say the centre is circular, and the leading edge too, but gets gradually higher at the top and bottom to match the fuselage height giving an oval appearance?
