Unfortunately I have to say it was a GSC 72" Dia, by the way my welderjust made a turn and recons it does not look as bad as we originallythought,we'll replace the engine mount and do approved repairs to thebreaks in the fuselage.Regards,NormanZS-VJA (rebuilding)-----Original Message-----

No not as yet will however do as soon as fuselage is repaired and givenclean bill of health i.e.: x-rayed etc.Will keep you posted as things progress, have been offered a lot ofassistance by all my friends, but the fuselage is the priority at themoment, what also concerns me is the flying struts, considering thereplacement just for my own sanity.Regards,Norman-----Original Message-----
