| Subject: | Re: F-1046 Longeron to F-1005E Gusset Holes |
Thanks, I've got an e-mail out to them with the photos, I'll let you know
what they send back.
Rebuilding the longeron isn't a big deal. Heck, I can probably bend this
one in under half an hour after all the practice with the first four. The
bigger deal is that after I build it, I'm not sure what to do to fix the
problem. I can line the longeron up so that the holes in the gusset are in
the middle, but that's going to create quite a gap to the skins. It looks
like a similar situation on the other side.
