 Thomas,
I agree with Tony, use something that won't rust, nothing looks worse on the exterior of a plane. Maybe consider stainless steel, I use it on everything.

Hey Tony.
Now I'm looking for the tie down hardpoints (either parts or specs) referenced on page 25 of the 'A' kit manual.

I have not found them in the drawings either.

They say thay are Cad plated steel. I can have them made but I would be guessing.
Maybe .125  3" x 3.5" plate would suffice with a threaded steel bushing welded to it and then plated.
I figure the bushing threaded/tapped 1/4" x 28 could be 5/8" material ... maybe. ... or 3/4".

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

T Mann
