RE: New 35% Extra 300
My DA-85 is currently getting the hub update, so I can't get exact measurements. I e-mailed two business about Titanium bolts but haven't heard back from either.
I'm a little timid about drilling dowels b/c I'm not sure I could keep the hole centered, but you never know till you try! That does seem to be the best way. **I'll purchase a lot of dowel for practice**LOL
I also have some 2 and 1/2 inch aluminum standoffs here and thought about putting a 1/4 inch plywood plate at each end and then boxing that up with 1/8 inch plywood. Would that be rigid enough? That would definitely be the easiest fo me.
I would box all four sides but open up the two sides a little for carb breathing and adjustment, or should I just open up one side to prevent carb pressure changes? I'm pretty new to all of this.
I trying to get everything in order so when vacation starts in about a week I can build it in a few days then go fly!
