Moose V-brace
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:31 am
Brent (and others),
I heard at Oshkosh that MAM has a newer, stiffer (thicker) v-brace; that
some folks flying had cracks develop on one side or the other at the top
attach points. I don't have any specific information (e.g. who had
cracks or when), but, perhaps a phone call to MAM to insure you have the
newer version might be in order.

Subject: Bolt Length ?
Gentlemen:
Simple question. I was installing the V brace required for the Moose
and
the bolt lengths are obviously too long. The only way to make them work
is
to use multiple washers.
Any reason why I cannot substitute shorter bolts and not use the washers
in
this and other areas where this happens? I hate deviating from the
manual
since I am an obviously inexperienced builder.
Thanks.
