Brief Description: Section 5, making bulkhead cross tube cutout
|
|
This is one of the most nerve-racking parts. The manual calls for test-fitting the airframe, and using a straight-edge to draw lines where it should be cut. One thing I've heard other builders mention at this part, is the airframe with slide back a bit when going down into the new slot, requiring a larger cutout, and then fiberglass repair. What I did, I drew the lines, but then drew additional lines a bit more than 1/8" back, and cut there. It took about six test-fittings and removals of the airframe, but finally got it perfect, and no need to repair anything.

Lines drawn per spec, but actually cut a bit more towards the aft.
