| Subject: | Question about QB Fuselage |
When I received my QB fuse, I noticed that there was a crease along the
firewall that angles it forward slightly. At first I was concerned, and
then I looked at some of my pictures of a QB fuse from OSH and noticed the
same anomaly.
Anyone know the reason for this?

Hi Scott,
There are a couple of ribs that extend forward/aft that make up the
structure of the panel and they tie into the firewall. No worries. The
ribs come in the finish kit.

Scott,
This bend is by design, It makes the top skin perpendicular (or
close to it, I didn't measure) to the firewall. Just one of many engineering
decisions, you would need to ask Van for the rational. It does make the
firewall flange ~90 instead of something less which could make cowl
attachment more difficult.
