I'm building a SS7 and was wondering if others had to trim the firewall width?  Mine seems about 3/8" too wide on both sides as compared to the sides of the tube fuselage and in compared to the stainless steel lower firewall piece (the part that goes along the lower edge and below the fuse).....

Mike,

My experience is with model IVs.  With the IV the firewall is custom fit to 

the cowling so it is sent by the factory oversized.  It is essentially cut 

to fit the cowl.  I found that one of the more challenging parts of the 

whole construction process.  Not being that familiar with the 7, the above 

might not hold, but I would suggest not cutting until you are sure how it 

will eventually fit the cowl.

Lowell
