List,
What is the general consensus concerning cutting and fitting the Wing Root Top Skin on the 701?
I'm down to that point......got several sheets of poster paper, which is the same thickness as the .016 skin aluminum, and am about to start cutting the paper for fit. This approach worked well on the wing tips and some other areas; sure saved my rear in that I messed up the paper, not the aluminum, in getting a good fit.
Just wondered if any of you guys found any problem areas that are not addressed in the Assembly Manual or on the Drawings. Specifically, does the layout for the root top skin on page 7V9 fit as drawn, or is there a fudge factor required?
Now if the temperature would just get below 100 I might be able to survive working in the hangar.
Thanks,
Zed/701/R912/do not archive

Z. I finished them a few years ago but I remember clearly making them as you describe with paper templates first. As I recall my final parts did not match the DWG. There can be tremenous variation depending on how you orient the part. You need to mark some reference points on the paper part and the wing top skin so that as you make small adjustment cuts, you can reposition it back on the aircraft the same each time. If you don't, you'll go nuts. Not much science to this part.....Geoff
