    Subject: Joining the fuselage sides
    From: "Pocono John" <tinmotion@yahoo.com>
    I have both sides of the fuselage sitting in the jig, and now I'm wondering how best to join them. I'm building the long fuselage with split axel. 1) What's the best sequence for these steps: Glue the floor board on. Install the ash cross pieces on the floor board. Join the tail. Install the top cross pieces. 2) the forward ash cross piece tapers from 1" to 3/4". Does the rear piece also taper, or is it 3/4" the full length? 3) to position the ash pieces, should I place a temporary "false" back at the front seat and position the rear ash to it? Then measure 27 1/2" on center to the forward ash cross piece? 4) I'll be mounting the corvair engine. What adjustments, if any, should I make to the firewall area of the plans? 5) I haven't focused much on the steel strap yet, but if you can shed some light on it, might save a future post. Any words of advice/suggestions are certainly appreciated. Thank you, John Cronin -------- John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464955#464955
