Original Posted By: "jarheadpilot82"
I just realized I have built my fuse with 3/4" thick ash mounts, not 1" thick taperingto 3/4" at the ends where they meet the fuse.I really don't know of this is a big deal or not. Strength there is a good thing,but I don't know if the extra 1/4" is going to keep me from a gear collapseor what. I have already painted over both pieces with 2 coats of spar varnish.Thoughts? Reassurances? Bets from the gallery as to when my gear collapses on me?Measure twice, install once... :?Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: riblett attack
