I hope you don't mind that these questions are for a Cassutt and not a bipe... but I figured you guys have a lot of experience with tube, fabric and wood.
I am looking at a project that was started many years ago. Early info on the builder/logs seems to be gone. I was in the area over the weekend so I took some pics of the fuse and wings as best I could. I would like some opinions on what you think about the build quality and how to verify the structure.
I did show some fuse pics to a welder here at work and although ugly looking he thought they looked to have penetration.
The wing is supposed to be the 'Sport Wing' and neither the fuse or the wing have ever flown.
The current Owner has covered the fuse and wing using the Loehle system. I was planning on removing the fuse covering to blast it and paint it before re covering.
Thanks for the input guys,
Dan
