Great work. Hope you offer steel tube plans/dwgs when complete. Was a stress analysis of the trusswork done? Original plans may have included a stress diagram of wings. Many here would be interested in the details of the fuselage conversion from original ash/spruce to 4130 tube.

Dick King's ORA LeRhone Pup was a steel fuselage with wooden wing design. The aircraft resides at the Owl's Head Museum of Transportation in Maine, and flies summer airshows last I heard.

Would be of interest to compare your fuselage trusswork with the one at OHM if someone has photos of the King Pup fuselage without fabric.

Thanks.
