    So the manual talks about fuselage stringers but I'm not understanding where they go. I'm not finding any pictures. What are they made of?How big?

    Living where I live a majority of my flying will be in fields dirt roads and such. But I dont have deep pockets. I think I'm going to brace up good and go with some soft tires and have at it. Definantly want to spend some time with a good tail wheel trainer. I want it to be a kitfox guy.

    I guess the only reason I'm thinking about it is because everyone seems to be doing it.  It seems a lot feel that it helps with control. But I hear you loud and clear, why tinker.

    I think getting a second set of gear to play with is a great idea. I will definantly be doing a lot of crow hops either way. I'm in the process of rethinking some of it and the things you touched on give me direction. Thank you.

    I posted a rough idea I had under "wider gear with stock legs". It's in general hanger. Love to see what you think.

    Wider gear using stock legs.
    Just a quick sketch of how I think I could make my stock gear wider. Maybe gain about 3 or 4 inches per side. Hopefully you can understand my sketch. Basically just open the gear up and put in stops to keep it open the that point  reweld the axles to make them level. With the big tires I will run I'm already gaining height. I dont think I need to lengthen the legs at all. Strengthen the seat truss and side rails and put bungies back on. Even thought about putting the bungies between the two triangles and not on the seat truss.

    I would love to see what you do with the torch and the weekends. I'm thinking to modify my gear as well. Lengthen the down tubes and kick them out a bit. Seems easy enough.

    Little off topic. On the nancos, I have 2 new ones. Do I need to run tubes or can they be set up tubeless and the old 8 inch wheel.

    It seems like adding an inch and a half that way would be easy. But I don't know if an inch and a half would change anything

    Ok next question. If we can epoxy wood to the fuselage for widening. What about using wood to add little more to our tail feathers as I've heard a little more control is a plus

    Tuned pipes
    So the snowmobile guys get a lot more out of there engines just by using tuned pipes. I haven't seen much on here about them. We are going through my 532 and my mechanic is asking me about a tuned pipe. Is there a reason I don't see much about them.

    Can I use plywood epoxied to the frame to do the widening of the doors. Has anyone done this. Will it hold up. I'm going to be using plywood in the seat truss and on the side rails for strengthening. I saw pics on here that look like they may have just used plywood and epoxy.

    I'm defiantly interested in your prop north Idaho. I will let you know once out figure out what direction I'm headed. Being here in Utah I think I'm going to need a serious climb prop. No cruising here.

    Started wing repairs and bracing tonight. Thanks for all the info gentlemen. I will epoxy plywood triangles to the diagonal braces and support them at the center. What is best tubing for the pitot.  I think I've seen pex tubing
