chris, I am in the process of making a new truss for my aircraft. do
you have the capability to make a computer disk for lazer cutting of the
aluminum?

Howdy
I assume this was directed at me and not Mr Wall...
Yes, I could do the CAD designs and create the files so these parts
coule be laser or water-jet cut or done on a CNC mill. This type of
reverse engineering tends to be a little costly upfront due to all the
hours required to get an accurate model of the part. If some quantity
of parts were needed, it would quickly become very attractive to produce
this way though.
I'm not certain how many variations of the basic truss were used. The
units in the 520 and 560 appear to be identical and may even be the same
through the 680E, but I'm just not sure. I also suspect that we
couldn't put in all the rivet holes for the "hat channel" down the
sides. Judging from the hole pattern, they were not drilled on a jig so
would have to be hand drilled to match each airplane.
Maybe someone like Morris has a pile of different trusses around that
they could inspect and let me know if they're all exactly the same.

I think you also could reference the original drawings if you cantact
Geoffery.

We just moved, and the box got packed by the movers. I expect to have it out
in a couple of days.
Sorry for the delay.
