Rowland=85IMHO, it is a real stretch to interpret fig. 8 as "a

consider trimming the top fuselage flange at the firewall for even a

I have been tidying out my garage and came across my old Michael engineering resin
dispenser, used in my build. If any builder could use it I will be happy to
send it for the price of the postage. May need freeing off a bit as it hasn't
been used for a while.

Hi Rowland,
Will you have another can of Redux at the redy, borrowed or bought, just in case
you need a little more?not a good time to find out you need more, and have to
scrape a whole can off, and throw it in the bin for the sake of 5-10% more.
Something to ponder.
Regards
Tony Renshaw

I'm intending to trim the flange for the firewall joint back to about 40mm, but
thought I'd check to see if anyone thought that is a bad idea. There doesn't
seem to be any explicit advice about trimming that area in the manual, but fig
8 on page 23M-5 seems to suggest that a 25mm flange is OK, since the BID tapes
it illustrates going across the joint are only 50mm wide.
