I don't remember seeing this on other tip-ups, but as I build one I can understand how it might be so....
Thanks,

IIRC, I saw the same link & ended up creasing mine slightly. If no one

else replies, I'll take a look tomorrow.

I didn't - and have a gap that sucks my shirt sleeve into it when I fly. The overlap I allowed hides it visually, but the airflow knows it's there!

Thanks for all the input. I was hoping that the crease would make for a better fit, but it doesn't sound like that is really the case. I'll press on and probably leave out a couple rivets where the gaps are, as most others have done.
Cheers,

The crease didn't help with the row of rivets that run across the top of
|
the frame (I left 2 or 3 'unconnected'), but it may help with the fit to
the holes on the sides of the frame.
