What is everybody using for thier stringers. 1/4" x 1" seems a bit heafty. Iwas thinking along the lines of 3/4" x 1/4" ceder.MikeAirplanes dont fly on gas, they fly on money.The more money you throw at them,the faster they fly.IHA 110________________________________________________________________________________

That's what I used 1/4 X 3/4. It's a little week in the middle, and youcertainly can't sit on the Turtle deck just aft of the pilot's seat. Tocircumvent this problem Brian Kenney suggested I use 1/6 ply glued to thetop of the stringers and sandwich this with light corrugated cardboard. Boydid this ever stiffen that area. Sitting was no problemo after that. I tookthe cardboard all the way to the first bay aft of the pilots' seat. I closedthe end. Added a lockable door on the pilots' seat back and used thecompartment for my goggles, gloves or anything else I wanted to lock away.Brian's suggestion was a result of a little damage from something inside theglove box, that hit the fabric on a hard landing. This sure works for me.Regards,Domenic________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 15:47:37 -0800
