Richard, That was the same question that I had on the cross braces. I also had seenreference to 1" x 1/2" spruce cross bracing, which is what I ended-up goingwith. My other big question was "Okay, now that I know the dimensions, whatis the orientation"?? Thick axis up or thin axis up?? This one seems to beworked both ways out there, I laid mine down, with the 1/2" being vertical,and the 1" being horizontal, but I've seen pictures on Aircamper.Org withthe bracing installed both ways! The 1/2" x 1" seems to be plenty strong,especially when the tail posts are pulled together. It really is anamazingly strong and light structure! Good luck!Gary Meadows----- Original Message -----
