100+ pounds less - hanging out front - which I'm thankful for every time I
bounce the Rebel onto the strip)
The carry throughs are cut in 1/2 on my plane - 821 empty weight with the
912 - 100HP.and Scott 3200. The only thing that happens -IMHO - is that when
you mount the control column - you need to put a plate under it because the
control column mounting brackets only catch 1/2 of the carry through and not
both sides. (the floor only isn't enough to support the other side of the
bracket)
This has not been a problem and I did end up moving the control columns rear
word by - I think an 1"(I can't remember - I just know I wrestled with the
decision) - again - no issues for me. It actually gave me more stick
clearance from the panel.

Hello Builders
I am at that point where I have to decide if I should use the full tube
carry through (Fus. - 5) or the half tube method to build the main gear
carry through. My first though is to save that 4.2 Lbs because it is my
intent to register my Rebel at 1320 Lbs and that's quite a weight savings.
On the other hand, how critical is the extra strength I would be giving up?
I would appreciate the thoughts and opinions of those of you who have
already made that choice.
