| Subject: | Re: Turtle Deck Angles |
Hi Dan, Hope to see you Sunday at Winemiller Farm.
About your turtle Deck. If you look at the plans Drawing No.2 the upper left, "Side
view of Rudder and fin". I believe the turtle deck transitions from curved
at the back of pilot seat to flat at the LE of the horz Stabilizer. If the aft
end of the turtle deck is curved it makes kind of an awkward place with the
horz stab being flat. I would never have figured this out had I not had the horz
stab C-clamped to the fuze when I built the turtle deck.

I was going to get all those goofy angles at the tail end to come out right.
Figured itd be about a hundred trial and error trips to the disc sander per
stringer.
>Woke up this morning with an AHAH! moment (looking back now it seems more like
a DUH moment). I just glued a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to the thinnest piece
of scrap ply I had. Slipped it under the stringers and sanded away. Took all
of 10 minutes and the angles just found themselves.
