Well as far as I could go. Ran out of wood again. So I stuck it together to check the incidence. There is a .8 of a degree discrepancy across the span so that can be fixed with the N-struts. All things considered I'm real happy with that.

The N-struts are made of basswood so I build the test pieces out of spruce to allow for mistakes .

Thanks Dan.
Not as big as that beast you have but close.
Burn out....well when I work I go go go but when I stop I find it very difficult to get started up again. I am enjoying this one. Not too much engineering, just build it.

It was 42x6x1 rough board. If you need basswood for a project this is the stuff. Best of all it with tax was under 12 dollars.

First I rough the gear with some 60 grit. Then cut the pieces from 3/16 wood .

The idea is to allow the wood some flexibility to move if the landings are hard.
