Mike,I have a correction to my last posting on the "ash location". It is inlinewith the vertical clusters and the front seat back is glued to the sideclosest to the pilot.DomenicFly "Low and Slow", by the seat of your pants.________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks DominicAint that a co-inki-dink As per my '32 drawings, I have cross members at 8.5" and 37.5". AND, sincemy entire fuse is 3/4" ash they are already there. I just need to laminateanother piece onto the side of each.For ONCE an after-its-done modification will be easy Mike-----Original Message-----
