over the mid skin. Larry Mac talked me out of it, because this is an
opportunity for water to enter the inner airframe.
Do not archive
Not been my experience. I first saw the side skins overlapping the skin over the turtledeck on old 63R, the ZAC demonstrator of 1998 era. All demonstrators since them that I have seen use same technique - a technique that uses the tension of the .025 side skins to smooth out the ballooning of this area.
As the demonstrators face a lot of outside exposure, I doubt if they would follow such a procedure if it were a "hole in the bucket."
Are you planning on parking your 601 outside? Won't you have a canopy cover? My Bruce's cover has this area well tucked in for the night.
Planning on painting? Paint will make a great seam sealer if your workmanship is a bit sloppy here.
Larry, I have the greatest respect for your skills and workmanship, but think most of us mortals might have a neater job in this area if the side skins were outside.
