If your going to change the dimensions. I would most definitely order per piece. At Wick's, there is no discount for the kit you're just paying for individual pieces. and for the various lengths of the 5/8 square. I would get all 14' pieces. I had a lot of "just a little to short pieces." I w

As I recall, the time that Mark Langford conducted an "Introduction to Fiberglassing" workshop at a Gathering, it was well attended. If he's planning to come to Oregon for the Gathering and is willing to do the demonstration, I will volunteer to have a throwaway tail section (wood and foam) rea

>From my experience from going from VW to Corvair, which is close to the same weight as a Cont, I would get it as far aft as possible, unless you expect an aft CG problem from already having too much weight behind the CG. I moved the fuel from header to the wings in anticipation of having too much
