I have read others comments about the HR bulkheads being almost of no use since so much cutting and fitting had to be done. I like Arlie's approach in fitting flanges to the skin, then bulkheads to the flanges. My fuselage is built with the Vans bulkheads installed per plans, and almost ready for turtle deck. Definitely want to go fastback, but not sure how I should proceed.
What parts should be purchased from Harmon if any, and how to get the correct turtle deck dimensions if you don't have these parts to at least get you in the ball park? Perhaps the HR skin is the answer, then fabricate bulkheads to fit the skin.
Another interest is in comments I have seen about building canopy skirt, and frame out of glass like the EZ amongst some who would do it different 2nd time.
Anyone know what advantages this might give like weight, strength, better fit etc? I have looked at some builder logs of some EZ builders, and think this might be a great idea. Has anybody built the canopy skirt, and frame out of glass on a RV4?
