| Subject: | Don't need no stinkin shelf |
I am building a long fuselage Piet with a corvair engine and therefore don't
believe I need the shelf in the upper front of the fuselage. I plan on using a
full height firewall extending above the top longerons like Mike Cuy's in his
video. Question is how to finish off the upper front of the fuselage.
I am assuming I can just add triangular gussets to the inside top corners
(like those shown on the plans at the bottom corners) and a horizontal cross
brace (maybe 1" x 3/4") between the 2 (#1) front vertical struts just under the
top inside motor mount brackets.
Anyone see any problems with this?
Thanks
Rick Holland

<< Jm,
Mine are to plans. Guess if I had to do it over again, would have made them
longer. Corky, yours are longer , aren't they. How does that work out?
Know lots of guys made them longer. Can all respond?

How do the cabane lengths compare the the plans?
I hope your's are shorter....this doesn't look good..... :-)

My cabane struts are 2" longer than plans. I have yet to install the slanted
struts, so I still have the 'X' cables on the right side of the front pit.
Ya just wanna take a ride bad enough, and you'll get in. At 6', 210 lbs, I can
get in, so I might not even go with the slanted struts.
