still moving forward all be it slowly here is the jig for setting up the beams(beams yet to turn up)and remember all things come right when you have a great class.

sorry that pic didnot work trying again(not as good as gato but sill coming along)

beam landings

Anyone knows why the number of downloads nearly doubled for the picture of the beam in place? Can it be interpreted as an increase of interest in the F12 in general?

About the beams>>> 1) What is the diameter? 2)Wall thickness? 3) Alloy?
4)Radius of the bend?

Regards,
Bob

Bob,
beams are 6061, 63.5mm * 3mm and the bend radius is 3.152m. Billy bent his beams to 4.0m as that was the minimum the benders could do, so they aren't quite flush with the deck. Beams are also sized by what we could obtain, 60mm*2mm would be adequate if you could get it.

Cheers

Luiz, I think you can be right, the activity on my blog has increased quite a lot also.
