Clutton FRED Advice
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2021 8:41 pm
Hi all,
My friend and I have "inherited" an almost completed FRED project from the daughter of the now departed Jack Cullen in Prestwick.
This aircraft has been in build for 40 years plus and deserves to be completed. My Co-partner -in- crime, whose father was a fellow LAA builder in that part of Scotland, and I are trying to finish this aircraft and keep costs as low as possible.
Most of the parts are here save for the VW engine frame. It was built with the shorter fuselage and I am reluctant to alter it structurally.
My question is:- does anyone know of an engine frame or jig available that would save me a considerable amount of work?
Any information on this wonderful design would be very much appreciated.
