Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 7:00 am Post subject: Cabin Cover Aft Flange Fit

I have been fitting the Cabin Cover on this past weekend.  The fit of the Cabin Cover aft flange to the tailcone skin is good at the top of the cabin cover however it opens up a bit (1/ as one gets to the bottom of the Cabin cover aft flange.  There is still enough edge distance for the fasteners left (about 1/4 in).

  

 I am wondering if thats typicall of what others have seen. 

  

 Thanks

Niko, that's exactly what I experienced. The plans say to trim (3/4"?) 

from the joggle, but it appears that the joggle is off as if meets the 

fuse side skins. There is still enough edge distance for the pop rivets 

and the backing strip fit without any twisting.

Niko,

 Not sure what you mean by "it opens up 1/8".  I don't remember having  such trouble.  However, any time you have many mediums meet, such as on the  sides where the cover meet the tailcone skin and side skins, it gets thick and  takes a little time to get it right.

View it as the overlap between the Cabin Cover aft flange and the tailcone upper skin.  Ideally this overlap should be about 0.70 inches all around (0.050 inch gap is assumed here)  for me its about 0.65 inches on the top center and goes down to 0.30 inches as you move down the sides.  I don't think it can be changed easily as the elevation angle of the Canopy Cover would have to change (angle of attack) which would shift  this problem along the Cabin Side Flange to fuselage side skin attachment as the current fit there is great.  

  

 I hope this is clear.
