Hi Ray, I have a question about your wing strut aluminium fittings. Where they
bolt to the wing did you leave them square at that end or did you round them off?
If rounded them off how did you round them.
Thanks, just doing lots of little stuff waiting for less humidity to finish painting.

Just got in the first flight of the season this afternoon. Absolutely
gorgeous early spring day. Shook her out for thirty minutes all's good.
Didn't feel rusty at all, even with a little crosswind on the asphalt.
Keep building, it's worth it!!!
Happy Resurrection day!!

Sure looks like a lovely day in the photographs there! We're still in the cold
and cloudy time just before spring kicks in and gets going. Won't be long now!
As soon as I can get Scout primed up and flying, I'll check the angle of the
longerons in level flight.
And a blessed Resurrection Sunday to you too, Douwe! Thanks for posting.

Jim,
They are rounded off, but I did not do it. My friend, Merle did it with his m
illing machine. I had to make "U" joints to attach them to the wing because
the wing is not lined up with the bottom attach points on the fuselage. I c
an get a picture of these, if you want. Merle could have made fancy ones on
the milling machine, but Bernard would have frowned on that!
You only need the "U" joints if the wing is not vertical on the cabanes, min
e are slanted back 5.5".
I only have to paint one more side of the left wing panel, should finish Tue
sday. The clear coat did not work out on the fabric because the cement turn
ed dark brown with time. It looked like shit! All the clear coated fabric is
now BRIGHT yellow...with red trim! If they don't see me coming, it's their f
ault!
My smoke system is done, but only a 1 gallon tank, for now.
