For what it is worth Velocity does it by removing the top skin, digging out the foam, packing it with mico-glass, and inserting the aluminum hardpoint and glassing over it with two plies of bid. If you go to Andy Millin's website at http://www.kal-soft.com/velocity/ and go to photos 261 and 262 he shows it very well.

I am a little hazy about it but I think it involved removing a section of the inner skin and foam and floxing in a 3/8 ply reinforcing plate, then applying the glass reinforcing patches on the inside. The holes for the fastening bolts are then drilled all the way through the fus. side, countersunk on the outside and the appropriate AN4 bolts used. Any depression left on the fus. skin is filled with flox and a one ply bid patch applied (if considered neccessary) Paul Buckley TriQ-200 Cheshire England. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Hamm To: Q-LIST@...

Maybe about ten plies of six inch wide UNI, run as far to the rear as possible? Thanks also to John and Neil, but since your answers don't match, I'll have to throw them out. No, seriously, it sounds like the AN-4 will do the job. Since I'm not planning on ever trying it out, I should be fine!
