Looks like I drilled holes in the corners, hand nibbled around the radius, and I remember using the 4" grinder with a metal cutting wheel to do the straight sections.

Tom, Welcome to the group! Number 37 looks great, and interesting how we came up with the same radio and transponder mounting with the center controls. I tried to paste in the search results for "find builders" on the Sonex factory site but that URL is not interpreted correctly. But you ca...

Andrew,
Very cool on your kid's accomplishments. No worries about off topic- this thread is in the off topic area and I put off topic in the title. We are safe here. We build more than airplanes on this site. We are building our Sonex community. That is why we have this area I believe.

I've got it boxed and would have had it in the mail today, but the self service machine at the USPO died. I'll get it in the mail tomorrow.

Thanks for the encouragement! Adam is big into Science Olympiad. His event is a car that has to go a specified distance. Plus there are points for speed and straightness. His all mechanical car has beat the computer girls and boys a few times. He is headed to State Championships next week.

We had to buy bendy plywood to form the duct. It is drying right now.

In 4 months Adam will need a reliable car to go to the local community college. They have a program where he gets dual college and high school credit. So, we are rebuilding my '99 Saturn SL2. I've had it since new. It has a 5 speed and this is the car Adam learned to drive in. https://s13.postimg.or...

This got me a good length. https://s10.postimg.org/xi20wyw4p/gnu_vise_fre...

Here is our tray support scheme in action: https://s28.postimg.org/6r7uywxh9/tray_1.jpg https://s29.postimg.org/saetw38jr/tray_2.jpg https://s16.postimg.org/vp96lzaj9/tray_3.jpg https://s15.postimg.org/d9tjbmu57/tray_4.jpg Unfortunately when we set this up on the bench, we screwed up the hangers for...

Bill,
I'll look for it at the hangar tonight. PM me your address and I'll send it your way.
