Re: Tail surfaces - 109F versus 109E?

Out of curiosity do you use some kind of 3D measuring machine to reverse engineer some of parts for which you don't have the exact dimensions (missing factory drawings for instance) ? Or do you rely on more usual and cheaper measuring tools ?
Hi Oli!

I figured it was you. No my friend we rely on much simpler tools. Certainly there is error within the tooling but that level of precision is well beyond what can reasonably be expected.

If you build a jig then parts can be produced that fall within very narrow margins. Certainly not six sigma standards but then again 3.4 defects per million opportunities is well beyond most companies capabilities today.

All the best,
