Regarding plans building an XL, I am looking ahead trying to make some decisions. Hope you guys and gals can help me out in hte next few emails (broken up to make them more searchable). (1) Back many months ago I seem to remember some talk about using thicker material for the firewall. For those of you flying, has the 18 gauge steel for the firewall seemed sufficient? Noticed in the archives one builder went with stainless steel. Is this a good idea? Stiffer? Better heat resistance in a fire?

Kevin,
I put a .015 stainless steel firewall in because the material
recommended in the plans is too weak to be called structural and for
mounting pumps, etc, you
need better surface. The stainless is really tough, but I'm glad I did it.
