Wondering if anyone else who's received early shipments (November) of the RV-12-iS fuselage kit got pre-bent longerons at the aft end -- at first I figured Steps 2 and 3 of Section 23 had already been done?
I did. And they were perfectly bent.
Just one problem, as near as I can figure.
It's the wrong end, unless I'm missing something.
I didn't really notice anything until I went to fit the top piece that's curved and noticed it wasn't tracking properly. Flip the longeron around, 12 7/16" from the forward edge (exactly as the plans said) and it was a perfect fit.
I'm pretty sure, looking at Figure 1 and remembering building the 7A, the twist is supposed to be at the forward end. Right?
