Cheers:
        General question this time.
`        I hav brought the Mk 1 fuselage into the fray, and feeling tenuous,
offered up the top to see what possible trouble may lie ahead afetr I've
worked on, and installed, the cockpit module.
        Lo amd behold, brethren, do I find the top molding to be 1/4in short of
the canoe at the rear top of the fin. That is, with the top front bolted
tightly6 to the firewall and occasionally along their mutual "joggle",
with the top molding cut so as to meet the bottom molding joggle just a
foot or so ahead of the rear bulkhead position, the rear end of the
canoe is 1/4" longer than the rear edge of the top. Now the aft edges of
both canoe and top foam inserts in that region line up, so am heartened
to think I can recut the aft edge of the canoe to accomodate the shorter
top.
        Anyone else find this anomaly7
All suggestions gratefully received here at Offhand Manor.
Happy landings
