That said it far better than I could Cris.

Cris has been very helpful all this time with my problems that were of my own making.

It was just a matter of identifying every REAL problem one at a time and then solving it.

I do use unconventional methods. One being the KISS method. Keep it simple stupid!

Why add more weight by making a fatter stronger ITS when a a couple of turnbuckles and a bit of stainless steel wire will do a better job.

I was at Woodonga at a vintage fly in and was admiring a beautifully restored biplane. It was all wood and cloth reinforced by piano wire. The 'old' bloke next to me started a conversation about the aircraft. He said his name was John. He seemed to know a lot about flying. It was then I realized he was John Gorton a once Prime Minister of Australia. He flew fighters in WW2. He owes his facial good looks to a crash in one in combat.

If piano wire can hold a plane together surely it can stabilize a mere bit of metal.
