Subject: | Joining the fuselage sides |
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
