 Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 10:25 am Post subject: Question about QB Fuselage |
 |
|
When I received my QB fuse, I noticed that there was a crease along the firewall that angles it forward slightly. At first I was concerned, and then I looked at some of my pictures of a QB fuse from OSH and noticed the same anomaly.
Anyone know the reason for this?

Hi Scott,
There are a couple of ribs that extend forward/aft that make up the
structure of the panel and they tie into the firewall. No worries. The
ribs come in the finish kit.

Scott,
This bend is by design, It makes the top skin perpendicular (or close to it, I didn’t measure) to the firewall. Just one of many engineering decisions, you would need to ask Van for the rational. It does make the firewall flange ~90 instead of something less which could make cowl attachment more difficult.

This applies to the slow build kits as well.
Just a guess,,,but that top portion of the firewall is connected to 2 ribs on the cabin side that extend through the sub-panel and ultimately to the panel, providing an 8 degree tilt to all three - the firewall, sub-panel, and panel.
