Willy=85in accordance w/ solutions offered on the list, I=92ve separated my fuel filler from the fuselage skin w/ a sheet of foam per the attached pixs=85no direct flight experience=85Fred ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:37:02 PM PST US From: "Bob Harrison" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Warping or shrinkage of fuselage around and below fuel fille Hi! Will, The condition you relate is quite common when bid straps are used to attach the filler "telephone" type of fuel filler moulding. But it only reflects the curing of the actual straps where it adheres to the inner skin. I think the later suggestion was to apply a large area of bid prior to using the bid straps on top of that. Hopefully yours isn't worse than that?
