Hello everyone,
Has anyone made an attempt at a standy (full-size) build of the Airstream Torpedo that Wally Byam sold plans for in Popular Mechanics in the 30's?
I finished my 8' long canned ham standy and am contemplating giving this a try as my next project.
I found a sketch with some measurements in an online search and can't seem to shake the idea.
I made my canned ham with a 1 inch square tube skeleton (0.065" wall thickness), and would probably do the same with this one. I also found a recycling place that has mill finish .040" aluminum sheets for $2/pound if I buy 100 pounds or more.
