Welcome to the group, Matthijs.Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, I'll caution against making the metal fittingsbefore the wooden structure is built.Many builders have thought the same idea before, but, because each Air Camper ishand-built by different individuals, each Air Camper will be slightly different,and therefore, the metal fittings will also need to be made to fit that actualplane which they will be used on. The differences will be small, but probablybig enough to make many pre-fabricated parts useless. The fittings MIGHTfit if built as-drawn, but it is highly likely that many will not.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:05:18 -0600
