What to cut?

I'm working on the Fuse of my 9A.
I got three pairs of Al Angle 3/4 X 3/4 stock.

I'm now looking for the stock I can cut for building small parts.

I believe the pair of 15' 063 3/4x3/4 is for the Longerons (DON'T CUT THOSE!!!)
But can I cut up the others for the parts I need to build?

There are a pair of 063 3/4x3/4
and a pair of 125 3/4x3/4

Are these for cutting?

Thanx!

Dkb :confused:
 
don't cut the .125

the longerons are made from .125 angle

There's a ton of leftover 063 angle but you only have two .125 angle for the longerons.

Some of the extra angle material gets used in manufacturing the seat backs.
There should be plenty extra.
 
What to cut

Have a look through the "RV-9A Parts Index", a printed Excel document in the front of your RV-9A Construction Manual Section 4. I went through this quite a few times matching parts and length callouts in the drawings with material callouts in the parts index.
