For RV-7 and RV-9 aircraft you will need a C-frame with a 22 inch throat to reach all the rivet holes in the center fuselage bottom skin. Avery now has the 22 inch version.

On the drawing it says to insert an AN960-6 washer between F7108A and F7108B to allow space for the "hatchet" end of the canopy support. Well, first, there were no AN960-6 washers supplied with the fuselage kit (as far as I can tell). Second, I could steal one from those supplied with the finish kit, but AN960-6 washers are only 0.031" thick anyway, so how does that provide enough space for the canopy support end which is 0.075 thick? What did you guys do who have already passed this point in construction? I am sending this to the RV7 list as well since I believe the construction is the same. Dick Tasker, 90573 Fuselage, finish kit is here... ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:48:13 PM PST US From: "Peter DeCraene" Subject: Re: RV7-List: F7108 A/B F7108 A/B forward fuselage question --> RV7-List message posted by: "Peter DeCraene" Dick I just used any washer since the size of the washer really doesn't matter. I also left out the last couple of rivets that were closest to the support because it mkes it much easier to put it in and take it out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Tasker" Subject: RV7-List: F7108 A/B F7108 A/B forward fuselage question > --> RV7-List message posted by: Richard Tasker > > I am working on the upper forward fuselage (dwg 24) for my 9A with > sliding canopy.
