<p>Hello:</p>
<p>I was installing the side channel doublers in the Cruzer CH 750 I am helping to build. The one angle in the kit is damaged. This is not the first owner. I cannot find the 3/4 x 3/4 .093 angle anywhere but at Zenith and I need it now! Has anyone requested information from Zenith about using the same angle but .125 that I can get from Aircraft Spruce? There was a mention in 43.13 that normally there is no problem going up 1 size in materials, but I have not received any response…</p>
<p>Hello:</p>
<p>I was installing the side channel doublers in the Cruzer CH 750 I am helping to build. The one angle in the kit is damaged. This is not the first owner. I cannot find the 3/4 x 3/4 .093 angle anywhere but at Zenith and I need it now! Has anyone requested information from Zenith about using the same angle but .125 that I can get from Aircraft Spruce? There was a mention in 43.13 that normally there is no problem going up 1 size in materials, but I have not received any response from Zenith yet. I did read that the .093 angle size is a proprietary size made only for Zenith which makes getting it an issue. If one is damaged and you change it with a larger size, do you need to change the other side? The angle at Aircraft Spruce has a slight radius in the inside corner and on the outside radius. The angle from Zenith seems to be a tight square corner extruded angle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't be-leave in all the kits sold, this is the only kit that the angle has become an issue. Please help if you can.

<p>I think the shared info about aircraft performance and building options has been pretty successful and helpful so far.</p>
<p>Another topic I see frequently come up is how to finish or paint your Aircraft.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vinyl versus Paint versus Polishing</li>
<li>What brand</li>
<li>Prime or no Prime</li>
<li>Surface Prep</li>
<li>etc...</li>
</ul>
<p>Just considering making a separate share spreadsheet for this one.</p>

<p>I know most people are spending a lot of time flying or building, but it sure saves time being able to find the basic info in one place, and then branch out for specifics only if you can't find it here.</p>
