Longeron fit in bulkhead cutouts?

Post by Thermos »

Happy holidays everybody!

I'm fitting the longerons into the tailcone and am finding that they're larger than than the cutouts for them in each bulkhead. I'm getting out the file and scotchbrite, but before I do anything, has anybody else had this problem?

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks Chad! I thought I had seen a post from you about this, but couldn't find it.

That was a quick reply...are you working today?
