Campbell" OK, I agree with Jack except on one fine point. I put my ribs in loose and spaced them approximately where they were supposed to go. I then used mason's cord to run where the drag and anti-drag wires were to go and spaced the ribs so that they cleared the cords. I glued the ribs in place at this point, took the cords out and then put in the compression struts, and then the drag wires -- minor difference.

Will go To hangar today, take pic of install. I was considering replacing it until I bought leather mic muff covers. Huge difference if you don't install PTTs & stay with vox.

And yes, there is something to be admired in the rich honey gold of a smooth wooden assembly with a nice coat of varnish on it. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=442809#442809 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 10:00:36 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: good intercom?
