Subject: Center Brace Wire Ftg. In the plans it says that the metal fittings should be made of 12guage metal. It seems that it is quite heavy. Am I reading this wrong. I am assuming that 12 guage is .100 ". Is this correct and is this thesize that others have used?

Going from memory, and not having the plans in front of me, I think the plans callfor 13 ga. on the hinges, control stick lugs, etc., which is about 0.090". It sure looks about right to me...> Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1999 19:31:21 -0500

12 Gauge is .105 inch according to the chart I have gotten of the internet. Seemslike it varies from chart to chart by a few thousandths. AS & S has .100inch available. I used whatever the plans called for, and went with whatevercame closest to the gauge thickness.

Craig-There is a chart somewhere in the world that converts guage to decimal. The material thickness for our wing fittings are as follows:Outer strut and cabane attach- .090 4130Drag wire attach- .065" 4130Pulley assembly- .065" 4130SteveReplicraft Aviation________________________________________________________________________________

The original prints were calling out 1010( I think) steel which is not asstrong as 4130. In the newer three piece wing print, which calls out 4130 ,call out .080"walt-----Original Message-----

There are several charts to convert gage to decimal thickness for sheetsteel. It is not real clear which chart should be consulted. To addfurther confusion, if you look through any supply catalog such asDillsburg, Wicks or Aircraft Spruce, you will find that availablethicknesses of steel do not follow ANY gage to decimal chart.So, I made up my own:>>> 09/01 1:46 PM >>>Craig-There is a chart somewhere in the world that converts guage to decimal.The material thickness for our wing fittings are as follows:Outer strut and cabane attach- .090 4130Drag wire attach- .065" 4130Pulley assembly- .065" 4130SteveReplicraft Aviation________________________________________________________________________________
