Hi Mike,
I kept my cabanes vertical.Oscar has articulated a number of
good reasons to do so. Since the majority of lift tension is
through the outer strut system there's not a lot of weight
being carried by the cabanes. So the center section spars
are strong enough to handle having 12" outboard of the
cabane connection.
If you look at my tank you'll see that it's humped like the
Dehaviland Moth series. It holds 22 gallons, almost all of
it usable. I have an O-290. My center is 36" wide. No! not
mine! The plane's. :-)

> Good morning Mr. Dawson,
I am planning on building my center section 48" wide to be able to have
greater fuel capacity in one location to feed my 0-200. My question is,
should the cabane struts remain perpendicular to the wing or should they be
splayed out to attach at the joint of the center section and spar? >

Joe, I just use the MEK until my kidneys start to hurt!
One thing I loved about using the Stewart glue and painting with latex. My
grandkids could be around with no danger.

Cliff, I have looked through your site before, and I must say that your
workmanship is impeccable, something to truly be striven for. I especially
liked your throttle quadrant. I will reconsider the flop, plus it would
allow me to hide a handle in there as well. I suppose that this is all a
balance act of weight versus smoothness of flight.
Tools, that was exactly what I was looking for! Now I can begin to coat my
wood (so to speak) and protect it. I would rather use Stewart Systems just
because of some bad experiences with MEK.
You guys have all been awesome, and though I may or may not use all of your
ideas, they have all been helpful in making the decisions.

Update on the Vi Kapler style tail hinges. I have Bill Budgell's set just about
ready to send out, with John Hofmann's and Clay Hammond's sets roughed out on
the bench to go next. I had to overhaul a few of my shop tools to get them
back in shape to make parts, but I should be able to start cranking them out again.
It was a cold, windy, and off/on rainy day today but I had no other "honey
do" tasks and my outdoor canopy is snug again so I got a set done. Only took
about 4 hours, but I spent at least an hour cleaning up tools and setting
up to work. The next set will go quicker. And if I had a shop partner, they
would go MUCH quicker, but that's just another excuse.
I really apologize for the long delay, no excuse except "life got in the way".
I will advise purchasers when I'm about to mail out their hinges.
Thank you.
