Hi,
I've an S-1S over here in the UK, bought in from the U.S. In 2003 - formerly N18FW.
She has a wider than 'stock' cockpit in the instrument panel area, and was built to accept Spring-Gear, so has the required additional strengthening in the lower Longerons, plus additional diagonal bracing in the same area.
The wider fuselage in the instrument panel area gives lovely uninterrupted lines thru' to the engine cowlings - see photo.
I have looked through the plans that I have, but can find no reference to either area, over the standard S-1 fuselage drawings.
Can anyone help? I seem to remember there was a drawing posted a while back of the fuse' mod's required to accommodate the Spring-Gear, but cannot find it....
Thanks in advance,
Rich D.
