| Subject: | Re: Steel Hanger |
Dave, I had one of the "Carports of America" steel buildings put up two
years ago. It has no foundation, it's "nailed" to the Kansas clay with two
foot long spikes. I had the sides extended down to the ground, but left the
ends open. Ends are available in several configurations including a lockable
door. The whole thing went up in less than an afternoon with three
assemblers. So far it has withstood 70+ mph winds the last couple of winters
and none of the overlap joints of the siding (and roof) leak. Creaks a bit
in high winds, but that's about it.

Thanks you all for your input on the extension of my wing spars! For those
unfamiliar with my project. I bought the Kolbra prototype fuselage, and plan
to build a duplication of the "new Kolb wing". The production Kolbra has the
highest listed stall speed of the fleet. Built as a dual control trainer,
also does not have flaps. My hope is to build a wing, with flaps, that will
have a lower stall speed.
Thanks, Nick
