SNIP Keeping in mind that the wing spars are matched drilled with fuselage
bulkhead 404 I'm not sure what one would do with a completed fuselage that
did not have the matched wing spar to go with it....SNIP
Well, I'd turn it into a ROCKET!!! wooooooo hoooooooooo!
match drilled 404 bulkhead? We don't need no stinking match drilled 404
bulkhead! OTOH, it would be more convenient. I mean, there's about 52
bolts holding the wings to the 404.... a few sloppy holes just aren't gonna
matter.
I'd say that the only important part would be to keep the steel spar splice
bars with the wings.
I got an email from a Rocket flyer this week. He says that ATC is impressed
with his 311mph ground speed while descending into LA... hmmmm, must've had
a headwind. ;-)
Anyway, whatever the gent wants the RV-4 fuselage for, it only takes a
little sweat to make any part on it.
Enough ramblings.... no flames intended.
Fly safe... and fast.
