I'm doing my aileron horns this weekend. The piet plans call for 22 gasteel. Does anybody know what the decimal equivalent is? I have all thatstuff somewhere but can't find it.Also, what size aluminum tubing is appropriate for running along the sparfor the pitot/airspeed indicator system. That is, I will run a pressureand a static tube along the inside of the front spar and connect to theappropriate lines at the cabane strut and at the lift strut. I have some3/16 in tubing. That should work shouldn't it. I dont thing the diameterof the tubing should make a difference for pressure purposes - but I mayfind it difficult to transition to the proper sizes needed for the airspeedand or altimeter. Should I use 1/4 in instead?Thanks, BertI've put a few new pictures on my recently resurrected (and still underconstruction) website. I've got a few pictures of my wing construction aswell as the Boredom Fighter Larry Harrison has completed - it uses a Chevyengine , too.http://bconoly.tripod.com/_____________ ... ______Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 21:23:08 -0500
