 |
|
Hi guys, I am scratch building a CH-701. On Sunday I
cut out the fuselage sides and made an oops. I
mis-read the plans at the back end on one side and
drew my station lines at 293 mm instead of 298 mm.
The cumulative error is that the fuse side is 10 mm
short. I was thinking of the following solutions and
figured I'd better get some feedback. Of course I
will correct the station lines so that the underlying
parts attach correctly.
1. Re-cut the one side correctly and scrap the skin
that has been mis-cut.
2. Modify the back bulkhead so that it's flange fills
the missing 10 mm.
3. Make a removable inspection panel at the back so
that the rudder and elevator cables can be easily
inspected where they pass through the fuselage.
Personally I'm leaning towards option #3. This will
fix my screw-up and have the added bonus of making
future annuals easier. I have ordered extra threaded
nutplates (belly panel access cover style) with the
idea of using these to attach the inspection panel.
Any thoughts???
