 |
|
I have generally regarded the PDF versions of the manuals available on the factory website as most up-to-dat and reliable, but I've just noticed a discrepancy that makes me doubt that conventional wisdom.
On page 23M-9 (issue 2) of the PDF (files dating from both 2005 & 2008), it describes applying BID tapes to the joint between the fuselage upper and lower mouldings along the top of the firewall. But my paper manual (also marked issue 2 but dated October 1999) also calls for tapes along the rear top edge of the rear bulkhead (in the base of the fin).
Does anyone know why the later manual omits the BID tapes on the rear bulkhead? And is it safe to do so?
(Thinks - maybe I'll ask Andy if I see him on Saturday at the Rally.)

Rowland, imho the tapes on the rear bukhead are required, can be high loads on the fin
at times (spin recovery for one) which will put a lot of torsion into the fuselage.
