I got 'er done this morning. Propane torch did the trick. That is a nice pieceof metal and the price was O so right. It has flanges on each side 24 3/8" inside.All I will have to do is trim a little off the flanges and shape the bottomand top. I hope to finish welding the wing tank tomorrow. My son is comingover. His TIG welding is much better than mine.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers done, fuselage rollingusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: antenna
