Adjustable stab weight

[Karl G. Mueller]

Hi Bob,

Long time no see. That weight seems about right.
To save some weight I cut out the center section that would be
inserted into the fuse and only glue 1/2" sections onto the outside
of the Fuse to provide root sections for the stab. This way the fuse-
sides don't have to be carved out for the center section to pass through
and you loose a little weight by discarding part of the center section.
In some cases the stab-half's butt against the fuse without any root
section.
