enerally regarded the PDF versions of the manuals available on the factory
website as most up-to-dat and reliable, but I've just noticed a discrepancy
that makes me doubt that conventional wisdom.=0A=0AOn page 23M-9 (issue 2)
of the PDF (files dating from both 2005 & 2008), it describes applying BID
tapes to the joint between the fuselage upper and lower mouldings along th
e top of the firewall. But my paper manual (also marked issue 2 but dated O
ctober 1999) also calls for tapes along the rear top edge of the rear bulkh
ead (in the base of the fin).=0A=0ADoes anyone know why the later manual om
its the BID tapes on the rear bulkhead? And is it safe to do so?=0A=0A(Thin
