If you had to build this cluster, which order would you tack the
vertical member in place? Would all members touch the longeron?
When you get past three members, how do you shape them to allow more
members in?- Mike


Michael---visualize a centerline for each member---the centerlines of
all members should intersect at a point in the center of the longeron. Jerry

Just FYI to others, it has this message ID (some newsreaders may even have
parsing smarts enough so that one can simply click on the ID and the post
will be called up):

Exactly - my concern is how to get the optimal amount of contact for
each member on the longeron. I think the order the members are tacked
down will be important - Mike

Perhaps it's actually alt.binaries.pictures.aviation?

That is correct; thanks Ron

Wow, that is some serious rust... Was it flying like that?

(Sorry I can't help you with your original question)

I think so; it had been sitting three years before I got there; that's
the problem with not having to recover every 5 years; rust goes
undiscovered - Mike
