I can see that one of the difficulties with a kit builder manual is the numerous changes made to the kits (and plans/beartracks) over the years. There...Leave a comment:

The more Iook at it the more I like it. I think I would calculate some loads on the upper longeron shock attachment. I believe that would have me weld...Leave a comment:
