but the SB I created is just a piece of .032 and 3 x 3/16 rivets which
should be. The FUS-31 doubler can be done with a piece of .032 sheet
material also, or the easier way is to get MAM (Murphy Aircraft Mfg) to sell
you another FUS-31 to do the job with and this will leave you enough scrap
.032 to do a lot of other stuff with.
Don't know if Colleen will delete the wing tips and tail wheel from a kit or
not since the kits overall price really lowers the individual value of each
item. All you can do is ask her NICELY and if not the tail wheel can be sold
to someone with a Fisher Celebrity Bi-plane, or similar, as it works good on
one of those! List price on the wing tips is up to approx. $163Cdn each now,
so even if she took that price out for a pair it would cover your extra
material I am talking about here.
Also when ordering your kit ask for 3 x ST28 (front spar for horiz stab)
extra. This will give you the material to build the door sill areas properly
at .032 instead of with the ST-31 .020 channel. IF you won't have easy
access to raw sheet I would also suggest having MAM sell you a piece of .032
sheet about 2' x 4' to upgrade your outer Fus-25's and another piece of .040
about the same size to do your Fus-26's so you have them when the time
comes.
