Wish I would have remembered reading this plans gotcha!
After measuring those tubes down to the 64th inch (as Van's specifies) and cutting them just right, I realized that the measurements are hole-to-hole, not end-to-end. Now I've got a pair of canopy release link tubes that are each 1/2" too short.
No way those are gonna fit!
Does anyone have a spare set of links that they made, but then decided not to go with the canopy release? These steel tubes were a pain to make and ended up wrecking a bandsaw blade and several dremel bits. I'd hate to have to do em over.
