Steve--that does sound better---it could be worth asking John Mac to ask Multiplex for a spec sheet[i think he has dealings with them?],we could then circulate around the other inspectors for future reference--but in the meantime,if you are sure there is no common point that could fail between the t...

Have had a rest from the fuselage today,started planking the tailcone,and spent the rest of time building the first wing panel.This is a complex shape,with under camber/reflex/and washout built in,so plenty of time was taken jigging it up on the workshop floor [way too big for any of my benches].Jus...
