Thanks Mark and others, it's been one of the tougher segments to date. Thiscalculator http://metalgeek.com/static/cope.pcgi was helpful. Using it andred craft? paper saved some 4130. Also, cut and fit the rear V's first, thatway you have enough scrap left for the front when you mess up the rear. :)Still have a long way to go with the springs, lugs and brakes.Jack TextorDSMNX1929T-----Original Message-----

At the risk of muddying up the water without really knowing what I'm talking about,I will mention that I remember someone saying that covering the landing gearvees would degrade the airplane's rudder authority by adding flat surfaceto the side.Maybe we need a "Snopes" myth-buster for this list?--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:40:51 -0700 (PDT)
