I am not familiar with this bulletin.  Any chance you can copy and send it to 
me?

I have just finished my gear.  I used Doug Fir.  I first set them up with 
plywood vees to assemble and weld the fittings to.  I think that the gear 
fittings are very challenging.  If Repicraft sells those parts I would buy 
them.  I had my parts CAD and plasma cut which came out perfect but I still 
had to bend.  I jigged up a press and they came out great but this held up my 
building for a year or two figuring out how to do it.  I am back and need to 
build my wings.  I have rebuilt a Corvair to hang on the end.  so its coming 
around.  I love to hear about building.  Keep it up.
