Fellow Tip-Up builders,
I am in the process of building the roll bar/frame for my RV-7A. The frame halves are very warped and the flanges aren't 90 as needed. It has taken some time to adjust the flanges but the parts are still warped. I haven't drilled the inner supporting strips yet, that's tomorrows adventure.
Anyway I have included a photo of the mounting brackets in there approximate position and note the interference with the seat back stop on the top side of the bulkhead (circled area). I believe this is common, but I haven't seen too many photos of this interference. I am considering taking a dremel tool and removing the offending material on the seat back stop.
What have you done to correct this? Am I the only one (I doubt it)?
Paul
