Mike,
Most of the fuselages are that way. If the joint has more than 1/4 inch, we
will layup two layers BID over the joint.

Good day All,
I have been putting the top on and off several times now to get things just
right. One thing that I have noticed is that while all the horizontal epoxy
joints seem to line up, the joggle joint doesn't seem to be fully
overlapped.
With all things in set, the front lip to the firewall clecoed in place, and
the trailing edge of the fin lining up, I still get only about a 60%
overlap
in the joggle area. That's about a 3/8" (10mm) gap that does not provide
strength. Have others had this problem? Is it a problem? Getting closer to
bonding
on the top and was just a little concerned.

Just about to put the top on but still finding little things to do before
that.
