Next step will be detailed part drawings so I can get them quoted by a fab shop. Some of the bends are too hefty for my equipment.

Hello Bill,

Please do not take this wrong, but when I look at your design you have square corners. Being in the aircraft for over 25 years, we never have square corners and always have a small radius. Please add these to your design to prevent stress cracks later. If you were not done with your design, please forgive me. Love the project and what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
Doc.
