09:06:48 AMHey Folks,I was drawing the side of the fuselage onto my work table last nightand ran into a bit of a discrepancy. I have the top longeron drawnstraight and the front and the tailpost square. Measuring back anddown per the plans for the long fuse, I think they're marked as"corrected in 94", I made all the measurements given and marked themto give me the location of the bottom side of the bottom longeron. Ilaid a long piece of flexible wood along the marks and let the bend inthe wood "fair" the line between. As I got along towards the rearmarks, at about 103 inches back, I had to bend my flexible woodfairing back and forth to connect the marks. I really expected themarks to line up along the fairing strip? I went back and checked themeasurements several times and finally followed the line the woodtook. It is off about a half inch at about the 103 inch mark. Thisis where there is a pivot marked to be attached a specifiecmeasurement up from the bottom longeron. Measuring up from thelongeron will therefore be about a half inch low. Does anybodyrecognize a problem here? I'm inclined to continue as I have it andmark the plans to measure an extra half inch to the pivot.Thanks all,Mike BellColumbia, SC________________________________________________________________________________
