Thanks for putting that out for us, a great resource - especially with your notes. I just got started looking at it, will need to return to it.

Wonderful documentation! I'm wondering what filler rod and dia. you are using?

Thank you!

[BTAZ]

I used 1/16 rg-45 for filler

hey BTAZ i have the tubing kit as well and I have just began to fit the upper frame together, On drawing 14 it shows a 1 3/4 offset between stations p and n. That causes a bend in the longeron. How did you deal with this bend? Did you prop up the longeron at station n with a 1 3/4 block? Thanks

The top is built flat on the table.

The 1 3/4 dimension is established when you put the top over the bottom frame and the side verticals set it.

Basically, when the bottom "Level Datum" from C to D is on your level table, and the side uprights are installed, P to N will have 1.75" difference.

Assuming your tubing kit is as accurate as mine was, it is basically "self jigging".

Thanks for helping me avoid a major screw up, I'm sure ill have a million more questions before this is all over.
