I am having to have weight as much as I can to make Part 103, really make it under 254 lbs. Would it be safe to use a single square tube 2x2x.125 6061T6 tube for my mast instead of the redundant mast?
It saves 3lbs over the redundant mast and if I remember right the Hornet I built many years ago used the single square tube for the mast.
I will keep the gross weight below 500 lbs. and the only holes drilled in the mast will be at the cluster plate.
Thanks
