Hello chaps! I'm trying to establish the thickness of the sheet metal skins around the cockpit area and fuselage sides up to the firewall. I don't have a plans set yet and I'm away from my aircraft so can't run a micrometer over the skins at the moment. Anyone know off the top of their head the skin thickness? Is it different for the open cockpit aircraft? Thanks, just trying to do some research whilst I'm unable to get to the aircraft. Frank
