 Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 8:44 pm Post subject: Monowheel bulkhead |
 |
|
For the center console bulkhead, I was wondering if it would be better
to build a curved bulkhead that follows the curvature of the wheel
well rather than the flat plywood panel suggested in the manual. This
means the new bulkhead will be further forward than the suggested 8"
from the seat back face. I wasn't sure if this would introduce any
problems in the future. Any thoughts?

Andrew...given that "bulkhead's" fasteners called for in the manual, I've never thought it had much structural significance...functioning more to confine divets, turf, etc. forward of the fuel valve than do much else. That is, however, pure conjecture on my part.

Andrew. The standard design works well and is easy to produce & make
reasonably 'crud-tight' - which is what it is there for.

The reason for my confusion is, the suggested location of the plywood
would cut halfway through the fuel valve access hole on the starboard
side of the tunnel (page 17-2 of the manual). Since the fuel valve
has to be aft of this plywood bulkhead, I can't see how this setup
would work without moving the plywood further forward, or making it
conform to the wheel well curvature.

Andrew, The removable bulkhead sits just behind the wheel cut out area in
the fuselage floor, whilst the fuel valve sits several inches further back.
You can see the relative positions of the flange on which the bulkhead sits
and the valve (rather foreshortened) in the attached picture, where I am
shaping up to fitting 2 Floscan transducers for fuel flow measuring.

Andrew
I did exactly what you are planning. By my calculations the original
bulkhead infringed the access hole. The curved bulkhead works well. Pics
attached I hope.
