The plans came in the mail last week. I ordered capstrips to start the ribs. Justabout 1/2 through with the rib jig. I am studying the plans and drawing themetal parts in Autocad so I can get the cut with a waterjet and also trying tofigure out what and how much 4130 to buy. The plans can be a challenge. The22 gage/0.030 called on the control horns sounds flimsy. Anyone??? I have no plansfor doing wild maneuvers but don't want an uh=oh either. I have seen a lot of different kind of brakes on the spoked wheels. I have notheard anyone say how effective they are. Brakes are a nemesis for me. I had aLuscombe 8A and never got the brakes good enough but what it would creep doinga mag check.... forget a static runup without it tied down. I see some witha large diameter disc that I feel sure would hold.Jerry DotsonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: First trip to Brodhead
