 Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 3:47 pm Post subject: Sealing Cabin Top to Fuselage |
 |
|
Gang,
I am getting ready to rivet the cabin top to the fuselage. The plans say to use pro-seal on the rear portion where it meets the upper skin, but makes no mention of any place else. Are other builders also sealing the cabin where it meets the upper fuselage? This is where the pop rivets go. If so what sealant are you using? It seems that there is a small joggle gap that I would probably fill later with epoxy anyway.
Thanks

I think that the sealing of the rear has something to do with water sheeting across the fuselage and having it leak there in a rainstorm. Why not the lower portion also??????? Who knows. About 1/2 or more of the finished planes do a full seal at the aft of the fuselage with F/G and epoxy.
I am not doing the extra seal line.
Some of the things in the plans do not always make complete sense to the logical mind. My favorite line is from the always entertaining and acerbic Ken from Vans who says, "It's just an airplane - just build it."
