The passenger step is just =BD=94 4130 welded into the gear legs (ala
Alan
James). The pilots step is ply and spruce. See the following :-

Hope that helps.

Subject: | OHHH CRAPP!!!! LESSON IN BUILDING!! |
Hello Guys, hope your day went better than mine! I was out today working on my
wings for my Jungster 1, and after 5 hrs of prep and gluing I heard the worst
sound a homebuilder can hear..... CRUNCH, CRACK, SILENCE!, Then 15 min. of severe,
prolonged cussing! I glued my false spars for the ailerons in to the ribs
and had it clamped , and 10 min later bumped into the bench, the whole thing
fell off the work bench crashed to the floor, and broke off 2 of the ribs, top
and bottom caps, trailing edge and all. I can fix it but, for about 10 min
I thought about throwing the damn wing pannel in the yard and running it over
with the Allis Chalmers, and starting over. I got one rib is fixed, now I have
to scarf in some trailing edge stock, and plywood strip and try to keep it
looking steright. One bad thing about wood is it can't be driled off and replaced
like aluminum airplanes. However I am lucky it broke where it did (If you
can call it lucky) because I can fix it
relitivily eaisly, and cheaply. The hard part is going to be scarffing in the
trailing edge pieces and make it look profesional. LESSON: MAKE SURE THAT WHILE
BUILDING YOU KEEP THE STRUCTURE WELL AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF THE WORK BENCH,
AND IT CAN NOT TOPPLE OVER, OR OFF THE BENCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS TOP HEAVY
BECAUSE OF "C"CLAMPS, OR OTHER HEVY TOOLS. I will try not to add too much more
"charactor" to my airplane untill I am ready for fabric and paint.
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!!!!
