Neil,
It's nice to see new pics in your gallery.
Since you and a few others have much more building experience than the
rest of us, it's always nice to see new pics and info from you.
In the pic in the link below you have chamfered back the edges of your flying wire
doubler. I would assume the chamfer is to reduce the stress riser
caused by the stiffer area created by the doubler. Lamar's Skybolt plans don't really show a chamfer on the edges. In the Delta plans drawn by Curtis Pitts, he shows a v-shaped notch about 5 3/4" long in the outboard end of a longer doubler. I assume this is the same purpose? Any thoughts on which one to use? Anyone else want to chime in?
