As soon as I read your email I took off to the shed to check the 1/4" taper
that I forgot about, but it seems that my spar has the taper already cut
off. I finished one of the FL406 assemblies today, it took me so long to
build it because I didn't really understand what I was trying to build until
I saw the finished assembly.
Regards
Greg, starting the fuse soon.
