The 540 mounts are mostly 0.058"x 3/4" tubes, a lot of tubes and gussets and a 5th hard point on the top center of the firewall. ...Chrissi

These holes should always be welded up as a final step. Holes and even welded up holes are another opportunity for failure. We do not drill holes in our mounts, we always leave a small gap on one end

Thank you to all who responded to our survey! It appears there are a lot of us out there using or are interested in some of the emerging technology out there and are applying it to their airplane proj

Join several sheets of foam on edge, glass the whole large sheet both sides, layout the ribs & bulkheads, cut roughly to oversize (takes no time at all on a band saw), trim individually. This process
