REFLECTOR:Strakes and Wings cont.

[Christopher Barber]

Just FYI, with plenty of Vaseline, uh, petroleum jelly, holding my tongue
just right and, I think, Venus was in line with Saturn, I was able to get my
wing on my fuselage and into the garage. Wow, what a charge to see the wing
bolted onto the spar.  So, no template for this boy. Yippee.  Now, if I can
just figure out how this bottom strake fits?????? <g>

BTW, thanks to whomever (I think Ronnie??) suggested to use threaded rods to
modify saw-horses and use them to hold up the strake.  Works GREAT. Very
easy to make and much better than sticking blue foam up under there to prop
stuff up.

All the best,

Chris

Commercial and residential wiring that uses aluminum,

But we're talking about short distances in your typical panel buss,
so the difference shouldn't be that great. What I'd worry more about
is getting good, airtight connections with all those breakers.

You can find copper buss bar in the Allied or Newark Electronics
catalogs. Also check the wire retailers, like SEA.

The best idea I heard was using aluminum bar as the main power
buss fore to aft. It's lighter and cheaper than those long runs of
copper, there's only four connections that need to be made and
those are large enough to use nuts, bolts and high compression
tennerman (?) washers.
