attn: I guess, Graham S:
This topic was fascinating and productive reading. But I ran into a mental
snag at one stage and beg clarification.
The idea is to avoid that difficult bit about flanging the pitch
stop mechanism to the fuselage top without crawling into a dungoen back
there. I followed the theme until the 'splash' is laid in the fuselage top
and the result affixed to the stop before top is glued on.
I found the top to be floppy and pliable UNTIL it is cleco-ed
onto the canoe. That is when (I have read) that all assumes untwisted,
levelled correctness.
How then do you cut the pitchstop structure to proper length
before the top goes on, and how do you ensure that the splash matches proper
top shape if the top is not attached?
In the "Upper Elevator Stop" photo, the stop seems to be very
accurately cut to length and shape of the top interior (accurate apparently
to the 1/16th inch). I apologize for seeming slow-witted by then it's hard
to hide the obvious.
