Pietenpol-List: diagonals on fuselage bottom

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Larry Neal
Last night I joined my fuselage sides. Probably the single most scary partabout building plane. Everything looks square and true.Question on the diagonal braces on the bottom of the fuse. Since thebottom longeron is curved when I put the diagonals in, there will be a gapbetween the diagonal and the plywood floor. Is this how you put thediagonals in or do you have to curve the bottom surface of the diagonal soit will contact the plywood? or maybe just put some spruce spacers everyfew inches?DJ VeghMesa, AZwww.raptoronline.comN74DV________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 10:22:39 -0600
