    I have no official documents, but I live in a residential air park and my Model IV is 25 feet from where I am typing this. If you could send rough drawings.of the dimensions you are looking fore, I would be glad.to take.some measurements where possible -.fabric might get in the way at times.

    I'm doing the exact same repair on my model IV right now. I've finally got all the new tubes cut and tacked in right now. I just have to double check measurements and finish weld it.

    Here is a handy website I have used. Made coping the tubing ends really easy (and fast)!
