Gents,I'm reviewing the GN-1 plans today. Some of the fittings are to be built fom .0654130N. I've got a bunch of .063N here in the shop. I know that conventionalwisdom calls for up-sizing, but the next thickness from Aircraft Spruce is.071. Anybody out there used .063 in their fittings?Thanks,Alan________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 08 May 2005 12:55:42 -0500

I believe the plans call for .065 for the elevator horns. The new plans have beenrevised to indicate .090 I think. .065 is ridiculously thin for elevatorhorns, so if you plan on using the .063 for that I would not reccomend it.DJ ----- Original Message -----
