Brief Description: Final fuselage top tack welding Part 2
I emailed our Bearhawk Yahoo group and asked the question as to what I could do to rectify the situation. Kent White responded and said to balance the stress by heating the opposite side bright, then quick like a bunny tack the tubes on the opposite side. Since I had played with that tube quite a bit with heat and spent way too much time on it already, I decided to replace it and do as Kent suggested. It was in a good spot to fix and I really didn't want to look at that place while I'm flying for the rest of my BH days. I cut the tacks and replaced the tube. I re-jigged the fuselage and did as Kent suggested and it worked out just fine. I disassembled the jig and now I'm going to put the bottom section back on the table to get ready to join the two halves together!
