Subject: Tailwind-List: Front Spar Carry Through

Jim C. and all,
I've been welding up the fuselage, and discovered a mistake that I made when 
I laid out the sides.  It seems the front spar carry through  came out about 
2" behind the top of the triangle windows at each side of the windshield.  I'm

thinking of adding a piece of 3/4 X .035 from the underside of the carry 
through, to the mid door location.   The other alternative is to cut the tubing
at 
the windshield slant, and the forward upper door opening, and splice pieces to

put it back to plans.  Or, cut those pieces out altogether, and weld new ones 
in.  The front spar carry through is just tac welded in.  What do you guys 
think ?  I'm including a picture.
