first of all these are not white pine,,,they are white ash, important that theynot be confused as the landing gera and struts are attached tothem.as I understand it Bernard used the center line as his point of reference...thisis how I measured mine and it worked out fine in reference withthe verticle braces..regardsJoeCZion, IllinoisRichard DeCosta wrote:> I wonder if someone could help me settlw where to put the pieces of> white pine on the floor of the piet?

Thats good. Yes, I meant to say ash, not pine. Thats what I have. I positioned mine as the centerline like you said. I am also using thatline as the place where my floor is split (2 piece plywood floor), soboth pieces will meet there(http://www.aircamper.org/users/rdecosta ... 1999-6.JPG)Should I use a scarf joint, or will a but-joint do it? If those arentcorrect terms, someone please correct me, Im not proud. :)Richard--- fishin wrote:> first of all these are not white pine,,,they are white ash, important> that they not be confused as the landing gera and struts are attached> to> them.> as I understand it Bernard used the center line as his point of> reference...this is how I measured mine and it worked out fine in> reference with> the verticle braces..> regards> JoeC> Zion, Illinois> > Richard DeCosta wrote:> > > I wonder if someone could help me settlw where to put the pieces of> > white pine on the floor of the piet?
