John,The turtle deck was my first bug challenge on the airframe. Turned out well andfairly easy.I used a CAD program form emachines.com to draw the front support. I used 9 slats(1/4" x 1/2"). I don't know how to describe this exactly, but in my experience,the two middle supports are "basically copies of the front support". Once I had my front support made, I just "transferred" the layout to progressivelysmaller "shorter" support panels.I got the rough dimensions for the two middle supports from measuring the top ofthe stringer to the fuselage "cross member"You know where I live right?Bob--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Thanks for good suggestions-- West epoxy thickener

As others have said, use 406 to increase thickness and STRENGTH. Use microballons for a strong, yet somewhat sandable "filler". Just try to doyour sanding before the epoxy cures fully and develops its full strength--------Bob 'Early Builder' DewenterDayton OHRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
