Hi Dan First, thanks for the reply I will reply privately later. If your wood dated 1986 aint fit for KR work then my project is certainly doomed. The wood for my longerons and some of the other cross members in my project is over 100 yrs old, thats right 100! It is douglas fir and the best example of aircraft wood you ever saw.

I think that if you take care of it, it will last forever. This is only an opinion, but I see no harm in putting a cross member in both but if any of the 2S people respond, they will know better than I as I am only a 2 person.

I was wondering what the downside would be to installing a belly cross member at BOTH "D" and "E". Mark's fuselage looks so good I should probably stick with station "E" only...any ideas or comments? Thanks for your help...I'm really getting energized after a 15 year hiatus from this project....I'm assuming all the spruce I bought in 1986 is still safe to use. I'd sure hate to buy all that wood again!
