Hey DennisThe main and rear beams do just sit on the upper longerons(Well, on the gusset that's on the longerons) the front beam willsit high and I believe the plans show an 1/8" spacer under the front beam.I made the rear beam of the fin even with the rear beam of the horizontal and tailpost. The fittings will hold the fin above the horizontal slightly.I actually added a center rib to the horizontal and shaped the bottom of thefin to match but that's not really needed!--------Earl BrownI may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where Iintended to be.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Cock pit cover

now that's an ingenious idea! is that a good word? if a fellow wanted to he couldglue a couple bows and match the fuselage curve but at our speeds and withthe font windshield I can't imaging there would be any real difference in drag.-mightpossibly change turbulence behind the back windshield. do you notice anymore or less turbulence in the face between flying with it on and off?
