Sorry, Mark, I don't remember. It was thin gauge that was laying in the scrapbin. The control horn steel would probably be ok. It has to be thin enough toform around the lugs and the top of the gear. Maybe get a couple of 12x12 piecesof various sizes to be on the safe side? You'll end up using whatever youget for something.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wing tip fitting holes

JohnDrill the holes after you get the wing tip built and your fittings made. Afterthat it will be apparent where the holes need to be. I drilled my holes on thecenter line of the spar and it was a little to low because the bolt head on theout side was slightly below the fat part of the wing tip and looked bad.Chris--------ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
