My personal thoughts are that there is virtually nothing to the fuselage structure anyway, and certainly nothing which can be safely omitted from the plans which are fairly minimal anyway. The fuselage structure as drawn weighs very little as it is - the problem is everything that gets bolted to it!

It seems logical that you should be able to lower the taper, give more bubble effect (increase rearward visibility) from the canopy and reduce weight? --- "Myron (Dan) Freeman" <mfreem...@indy.rr.com> wrote: > Try this > > http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/ebarros/ > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mike johnson" <kr...@yahoo.com> > To: <kr...@mylist.net> > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 10:05 PM > Subject: KR> Fuselage weight question > > > > Does anyone know of any builder that ended up with > an unusually light > > weight fuselage?
