Walt Evans Mike Cuy added some very good points. One thing I forgot to mention I didn't like the idea of using the Tip Bow as a compression member so built a compression member just inside the bow, locked it all up and then built the bow. The added weight was minimal and I felt was justified. I also added vertical members against the spars as Mike did...front and rear faces of both sparsDon Hicks________________________________________________________________________________
