Brief Description:  Upper Longeron Channels

Formed and drilled the upper longeron channels. The astute eye will notice that the channels are on the outside of the weldments rather than inside. This is because I changed the design of the weldment to add the additional flange allowing a clean 90 degree weld. (Discussed in the weldment entry). As part of that change, I also made the inner weldment dimensions slightly smaller. This would mean that the U channel would be a very tight fit around the attach bolt if placed inside the weldment. As a result, I put the U channel on the outside. The loads should still transfer in the same manner as the original design.
