 |
|
Folks,
I'm having some issues getting the top of the skin on for my horizontal stabilizer.
I've checked that my table is flat and level and the 2x4" supports under the nose is also flat.
When I try to get the top of the skin pressed down I can get all the witness marks to align on the front and rear spars, as well as the ribs. However, the distance from the table top to the bottom of the front spar is off by 20mm. The level on the skin also shows level. Something doesn't quite add up.
Any advice or sockpuppet motivation I could get would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Lee it has been so long and somebody that did it more recently (or has a better memory could probably be of more help but I remember a problem somewhat like yours and the problem ended up being that I was misreading something. Go back and look at the plans and the build manual and make sure you are not doing what I did.

Take a look at my kitlog site and maybe it might trigger an idea. I scratch built but the assembly process is the same.
