Just a suggestion on the 3 piece wing drawing from Don Pietenpol/Kapler.Itshows the cabane upper fitting cunstructed using "butt welds" normally notrecomended in aircraft constuction.I elected to use similar fittings,butbuilt with 2 "U" shaped fittings wrapping around one another and then edgewelded,so even if a weld should fail the fittings are held captive. Justfood for thought. Doug________________________________________________________________________________
