Douwe,I mounted mine inside the center section on a hinged bracket so it can fold up out of the way.Regards,Tom BernieGN-1Gloucester, MassOn Jan 7, 2010, at 5:22 PM, Douwe Blumberg wrote:> > Does anyone know of any reason why a vertical compass couldn't be mounted at a slight angle?

Could use some help here. Drawing 1 specifies =BE x 2=94, Drawing 3 says 1 x 2=94for the front and =BE x 2=94 for the back. May I use =BE x 2=94 for both? Also, amI correct in placing the centerline of the front cross strut 12=94 back fromthe front of the fuselage? I=92m building the long version. Doing this makesit appear it will be =BD=94 behind where it looks to be in drawing 3 showing thecross section of the longeron, rear set cross strut, front cross strut andends of the ash cross struts.Thanks!JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuselage Ash Cross Struts

Jack it looks to me like you would center up over where the landing gear attaches.I am just about to that point myself and was going to ask the same question.Here in sunny Florida it has been too cold to do any gluing. Only one day sinceChristmas has it been warm enough to glue.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009Ribs and tailfeathers doneusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 09 Jan 2010 20:49:31 -0500
