Brief Description: straightened frame

David Mosdal came to Lanesboro, MN last week collecting his personal project, a Rans S-12 built in 1991-92. He purchased it from a Warp Drive prop dealer in Fertile, IA, who was nice enough to deliver it to my shop. It was taken apart to straighten the frame. I clamped it down on a welding table and straightened out several bent/bowed tubes (4130 steel) in the tail attaching stations mostly as well as some around the seats. It looks much nicer now and measures much more square corner to corner (it was 1/4" out of square and is now about 1/16", the margin of error for the tape measure).
