| Brief Description: |
Diagonal braces |
|
|
Lots of cutting, grinding and fine tuning each tube end for a near perfect fit where they meet in clusters. Tack welded all in place. My LE is a hybrid of the LE and XL. The wings are LE the fuselage is XL dimensions but using the LE tubing diameters as this is what came in the kit I bought. Being a lightweight (150lbs) this will be fine. I have been using 1/2" x 0.035 per the LE specs for all the bracing in the rear fuselage. The very last diagonal tube is 5/8" as it goes from the top of the 'pyramid' to where the lower longerons meet at the tail post. |
