Anyway, I just wondered if any of the engineers on the list have thought of this and/or done any sort of structural analysis to determine if it would be feasible and what might need to be beefed up. Seems like this could provide a lower weight, lower cost, less complicated way to mount up. ------------------- Paul Davis INTP Lancair Legacy builder pdavis@bmc.com Phone 713-918-1550 ------------------- Vix ulla tam iniqua pax, quin bello vel aequissimo sit potior (Querela Pacis) Scarcely is there any peace so unjust that it is better than even the fairest war --==_Exmh_-111119493P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 iD8DBQE+51VFenuIHZhD7mMRAlQDAJ4vslGA+OGFy3jKOi7y696FW9NptACg72XP T/fXxc9BDy4xeUxBfjvaMEU= =3Inh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-111119493P--
