Hello,
I am working on the "simple" step of joining the rear fuselage bottom and
end skin, 6F1-1 and 6F1-2 together, and 6F1-1 is 4 mm too short (2220 versus
2224mm). Not a big deal, except for that the two pieces are supposed to
overlap 20 mm for a 10 mm rivet edge distance, and the overall length is
supposed to be 2544, and I am only getting the 2540 with the 20 mm overlap.
I have contacted the factory and am awaiting their response as well. I see
my options as:
1. Buy material and make the part myself or order from factory. The smaller
piece 6F1-2 I cannot make longer as it would make the stabilizer mounts too
far apart or else comprimise the rivet edge distance.
2. Overlap 16 mm with an 8 mm edge distance; the longerons also span the
seam.
3. Leave it 4 mm short (not sure of problems later on with this).
Any thoughts or options?
Thanks!
