I,me new to this forum so I hope I am posting this in the right section.
I recently purchased a set of fighter ultra light plans from plansdelivery.com. The plans seem to be fairly straight foward however there is still some areas I'me not quite sure about. I was a bit disappointed that no parts list came with the plans. I also have the plans for the A-Plane and found them to be more complete. The specs on the fighter seem to be better than the A-plane so I think the fighter will be my choice, but I am open to argument.
I have looked over the material for the fighter and the plans call for the main post to be 6063 T3 3/4 wall tubing. I googled several metal sites but have been unable to find a site that has this tubing. Can any one advise and if not is there a substitute that could be used. My understanding is 6061 T6 is stronger that 6063 T3, could this be substituted with 1/4 or 1/2 inch wall instead.
Does anyone know if there is a construction video anywhere for the fighter?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
