Default RE: Yet another Sig Something Extra Build

I see that you read Andy's book too. It's a shame that we don't have him around any more. I have the plans to a couple of his planes, but I don't know if I will ever get around to building them. He was quite the engineer.

You've got me thinking in terms of Carbon Veil now. I might just order some up to experiment with. I see that they also have fiberglass sheet too, and I've been trying to get some of that for general use....

I have often wondered whether those struts on the stock SSE were really necessary, but I really liked your approach to stiffening the structure with the CF rods. That was a great idea. I wish I had thought of something like that.
