On page 10-4, I just trimmed the F1010A angle support to fit the F1010 bulkhead. It does not fit between the tabs at the top of the F1010 bulkhead when positioned 1/8 above as in the figure? It is way off, i keep measuring, all dimensions appear corrrect. Has anyone else noticed this? I plan to just trim more (about 0.25" off the angled portion until it seats passively. The other option would be to fasten it to the aft side with NO tirmming? Will that mess other things up? Thanks for any input. - Steve

Please keep us informed as to what you find.
I’m a little behind you in construction. I probably won’t get to this until mid August based on vacation schedule and the abundance of “honey do” items. :^(

Stephen,
I'll start out by saying I think I built the F-1010A wrong the first time as I ground the angle the wrong way. The area that is removed includes a triangular section of one of the sides of the angle, as well as all of the other side of the angle.
See if this makes sense, when F-1010A is oriented correctly, the horizontal piece of the angle will measure 10-3/4" at the forward edge reducing down to 10-7/16 (10-3/4 minus 5/32 minus another 5/32) at the aft edge. The aft edge is also where the vertical piece of the angle is joined with the horizontal piece. The vertical piece of the angle (and the part that gets matched drilled with F-1010) will measure 10-7/16 x 1" in a straight 90* rectangle.
You will definitely want to make this part correct as all four of four bolts that hold the forward part of the horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage go through F-1010A. Too small will likely lead into edge distance problems down the road.
Take a peek at page 10-10 figure 3 so see how the angle is required to fit in between the fuselage stringers (F1032L/R) and that F-1010B then sits on top of F1010A so that later down the road six bolts will hold all of this together and keep the horizontal stabilizer firmly attached.
I hope this helps.
-Jim

Stephen,
In step 1 on page 10-4 it calls for an angle to be cut in each end of F1010A. Double check the top drawing on step one; this may be the cause. As far as mounting it on the aft side, look forward to page 10-10 and you can see how it fits the tailcone.

Stephen, if it's not fitting between the tabs on the bulkhead, and
you really did cut the part right (see Jim's reply, because
it's easily possible that you didn't cut it right), then you're
either mating it to the wrong bulkhead part (unlikely), or you've
got a bad bulkhead that was punched and bent wrong (also unlikely).
That piece should fit in that bulkhead well on both ends, between the
tabs, and it should later nestle up under those longerons well too.
See the recent post regarding alternative timing to drill the part
to the bulkhead and prevent any possible gaps between that part and
the longerons too, if you're so inclined.

Ok, my goof reading 2D views. I got the angled cut made, but did NOT cut the face that mates to the bulkhead. I ended up with the top at the lenght in the diagram, and then cut the sides to fit. It seems that another view of the part would have helped me get the idea faster.... thanks for all teh input. - Steve.
