Larry,
I'm going to speak with Jim and Rick Kern to see what material "stack up"
there should be in this area. It's entirely possible that when this fuselage was
put together that these bolts were never tightened properly and now appear to
have loosened.

Guys,
In an effort to add a builder tip or two a day, I wanted to mention something
to those who haven't done it as of yet. Split your cowl ring. This is the
ring that the top and bottom cowl bolt to. I suggest that you make up a couple
of
small plates (approx. 2" x 3") to bolt your ring together after the surgery.
I found it helpful to cut it straight across at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions
and then rivet the plates to one or the other and use nuts and bolts to secure
the plate to the other half. This will allow you to run the engine with the
prop on and the cowl off (and the ring out of your way) without having to tie
the ring back. It also makes putting the prop on a whole lot easier. I've got
pictures if any of you would like to see how I did it.

Lary Eidemiller has the split ring mod and it certainly offers every
advantage you refer to.

Ken, Good to hear from you. The Split Nose Ring deal has to do with the fact
that once the prop is on, you can't et the nose ring off without pulling and
reinstalling the prop. Not an easy task. If you need to paint the nose ring,
or wish to run the engine with the cowling off, the you have a problem.
I cut the nose ring in half, horizontally ( 3:00-9:00) and then made
0.050 alum
plates riveted to the bottom half, and screwed into nutplates on the top. I
can send you photos, if you like. This way, I can quickly dissemble, the
entire cowling in about 10 min. LRE

I appreciate the quick response and I will certaintly do the split cowl. I'm
very close to gluing the wing together. It feels nice to putting in
pushrods, etc for the last time. I'm finding time to work on the bird quite a bit
this
summer during my busiest time of the year. I've added about 30 gallons by
sealing in, with a lot of effort, the 3 rear compartments on each side with more
fuel. Sounds like Ed is making a significant effort to ge this bird back
into production. I think he could sell many planes if he's got everything
together, particularly with advanced fastbuild kits. My Fuse is ready to hang engine
as soon as I can come up with the Ray Ward type that I want (Super Bede 4
with 450hp). Only money cures my building problems.
