| Subject: | Scratch build =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=93?= Longerons |
Please pardon the naivet of a first-timer Using the holidays to pour over my newly
arrived I note that the aft-fuselage longerons do not appear to be the garden
variety 6061-T6 L-extrusions of some other Zenith designs, but a unique stylistic
variant. As attractive as the rounded edges and flush-inset extrusion
is, does anyone know of a commonly available alternative? I have nothing against
paying the Zenith price as it seems modest enough, but have been around government
procurement far too long to be comfortable with sole-source contracting
I take the thickness to be nominally 0.050-0.075, but an L that long is far too
long to simply gin up in any bending brake I can afford
What are the plans/scratch builders doing?

Larry,
Buy the things you cannot bend or process and make the ones you can. Zenith will
work with you as
well as anyone would. They are straight up people and they do want you to succeed.
