Starting the struts

Had to make a few additional brackets for attaching the wing struts.  Break out the measuring tools, hacksaw, file, and clamps plus some elbow-grease for good measure.

I wanted to start with the forward strut at the fuselage first so I could jig the whole thing outside and measure the exact correct length for the strut.  And I also wanted to cut two of everything to take care of both left and right at the same time. 


But first, I need to sort out converting the Goat-4 carry-though to a Goat-3 style.  For the strut attach points themselves, I'm planning to follow the Goat-3 drawings.  It's a change to the cabanes too... that's the fun one. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for that one yet.
