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 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. > >-------- >Dan O > > >Read this topic online here: > >http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=491439#491439 > > >Attachments: > >http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_0901_241.jpg >http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_0902_146.jpg > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
