Leg room?Odd... what’s with the useless firewall tubes outboard of the upper engine mount bolts??? Dead weight?? Use is??
The remainder of my tubing showed up and I just finished up building a snow bucket for my loader, need to do some maintenance on the snowmobiles before they start getting heavy use ( already out riding, -26C/ -15F here now) and a few other small jobs then the garage is getting converted into airplane build area!
should of asked this before but better late then never, what are some good books on building? I have ac43.13 and its got a lot of info but I'm sure there's some other books that will help me along this journey, any and all suggestions welcome!
also it seems like i should heat and put a sharper bend in station 3 ( where the clamp is) to remove the bow the the tube here, it gets cut out for the door opening and I feel like leaving it like this then cutting it out will cause so built up stress to move other things around afterwards.
A little over 2 years ago I was at this point:
Here is that liner I was talking about on the lower longeron. I turned down a thick-walled 11/16 tube to get a snug fit. It also needed to bent up a little.

Nice welds, Keep up the good work.
the 2 I messed up are just a touch longer then 2 other tubes I need to make so no loss.
I was just looking through RVBottomly's build and seen the post about doublers in the longeron's in front of the tail post, do these only go into the lower longerons or the upper as well, also how long should they be ?
