Here's HAndy's measurments that worked fine for me...

long rear box tube = 99cm
the 2 spars from RS14 to the 99cm tube = 17.6cm, set at 5 degree,s upwards.
the 99cm tube is an odd dimension which is to allow the inner radius curve of the grp tub.



Got any piccies yet?

There's no need for an upper frame as the grp supports itself, you can pop round for a look sometime if you're passing
