I had a post about this yesterday but it got knocked off for some reason, That's why you see test on my last one.
The fuse should absoloutely be doubled. I went from "F2" right back to the rear of the wing saddle. All stingers have this weak spot, but if doubled they are fine.
I never have removed the foam, but others have some say it was worth it others say no,?????>
I left my turtle deck the way it was and made it removeable, I had my batt. and rec. back there.
Landing gear block isn't really that weak, but that long gear really can put a lot of stress on it. I guess if we all greased our landings we would not have a problem with it...
I did brace the firewall, which I think was worth the effort. I will try to post a crude drawing, then again all my drawings are crude...
Hi Jemo,
I'm a little confused here. The drawing you did of the 1/4 plywood, was that behind the firewall or on the fuselage bottom for the landing gear? I'm glad I read these posts, I forgot to put the fuselage doublers in. Gotta go do that today. Can't fly, been raining since last evening. Everything's muddy as all get out.
