So I have finally progressed through chapter 29 and up to now its been smooth sailing. I bent the F1040 and F1041 to the exact angle of 20 and 8 degrees using a digital level. After clecoing them into place I noticed a problem. I know there have been issues with the firewall bracket during production welding getting out of alignment and there being an issue with the alignment of the top and bottom tabs aligning with the long axis. But mine line up perfectly.
My problem is different. There is a perfect and parallel gap between the top of the F-1040 and the F-1001B. It is almost exactly .063"
Exactly the same on both sides
I am stumped on this. I looked forward through the plans and there is no bracket that attaches between these parts. Did I miss something?
The rudder bracket attaches to the longeron in later steps.
Would it be appropriate to make a shim spacer and upsize the rivets appropriately?
