This photo shows
the strut tube parts. The struts are attached to the wing down
to main wheel axle's. This construction is the same as on the
Mini Max. Strut tubes are very easy to build.
This photo shows
the wings attached to the main spar carry through. The round tubes
are attached to the wings for the wing folding mechanism.
I was almost in
tears when I cut these holes in the fuselage on both sides. With
the top deck installed it is almost impossible to reach the bolts
and nuts on the inside of the firewall. This hole is the size
of an inspection plate that will be installed at final assembly.
The five gallon
fuel tank is behind the seat and the fuel lines come through the
cockpit up to the engine. On another FP 303 they used cushioned
loop clamps and they were screwed to the top longeron. I didn't
care for the looks of it. This photo shows the blocks I installed
under the longeron so the fuel line will be tucked up underneath
for most of the lenth of the cockpit.
