| Subject: | Mounting Aerosport panel |
Just received my symmetrical CF panel & trying to figure out how to mount it to
the existing framework. I have a quick build fuselage with the forward top skin
and instrument ribs put together as an assembly, the lower F1003b brace riveted
in which I'm assuming I need to remove and not use. Question is clearances
at the forward edge of CF panel and CF panel sub brace and top skin. As it
is the CF sits proud all the way around the sub brace. Am I suppose to remove
material at top, sides and forward to allow 1) CF panel to fit flat against
sub brace? 2)room for glare shield material? 3) CF panel to sit as far forward
as possible?
As it sits right now the panel will cover about half of the grab holes of top skin
not leaving enough room to fit fingers in.
Anyone with photos of similar phase of install or insight that could help?

I just dealt with this last month. IMHO, the easy way is to slot the
holes that the subframe mounts to the cowl deck structure by about 1/8".
A Dremel rotary file is probably the quickest, if not easiest to
control. The other option is a whole lot of nasty sanding down the CF.

I installed the non-sym standard panel. Here is a photo looking up and showing
the attachment of the new substructure from Aerosport. If you haven't already,
download the installation instructions. The standard Vans panel is completely
replaced when you install the Aerosport panel.
