Hi,



I found out that the .093 are custom. I search the archives for .093, and the use of 1/8 inch is

approved. 



I just bought the wing kit. Wondering how hard it was for you building fuselage from  scratch? 

How much do you think it cost you. I definitely could use the more money for the engine and instruments.

Ernie,  

   

I don't recall seeing too many responses to your question. I cut my extrusions down to ¾" on my table saw – really not a problem.  

   

And, Yes, you could say that I am a 'hybrid' builder. I bought kits for the rudder, horiz.stabilizer, and wings. The rest will be scratch built.   

   

Build one rib and you realize you can build just about anything.

 601 HDSTD, WW Conversion 90% done, 

 Tail done, wings done, working on c-section

Hi all,

 

 I am wondering the source scratch builders are getting their 3/4 x 3/4 x .093

 Aluminum angle. Spruce has 3/4x3/4x1/8. I screwed up my elevator horn doubler 6t3-6 by trimming off to much and was thinking that some raw materials around the shop would be a good thing. 

 

 All this talk from the scratch builders has me thinking, that I should be able to recover from some mistakes that are simple. maybe a couple of small sheets or .040 and .032. To form some common parts. 

 

 Is there such a thing as a hybrid builder out there? 

 

 Thanks 

 

 Ernie.

 

 Do not archive.

    Deja vu all over again! That damned Z spar was my first "Oops part", too! You should see how many entries in my builder's log start with "Aaargh! I can't believe I did it again!"  

    

                                                                                do not archive
