I looked at several aircraft, and most noticably Orin Riddel's(sp?, from the factory) has a very odd shape. The doc's recommend a uniform 3 inch width, and yet most I have seen taper towards the longerons. Has anyone seen, or could recommend reasons for the irregular shape? A second question: the manual indicates that the longeron's, once installed, should have the innermost spruce laminate running the complete length of the wood, i.e. no trimming. However, the manual says nothing with respect to finishing the piece, should it me layered with a 2 bid layup? bonded to the honeycomb? suggestions also welcome... James
