Hi Mike,

The width of all my fus 33's is 10 3/8" (measured over the outside curve -
before install). There is absolutely nothing to trim, as I believe they are
too narrow in width. If anyone has not started the fuselage, could you
please measure the width of your fus 33's for me.

Following the instructions to a 'T', the corner wrap just barely covers the
holes in the side skin.

Hi Roland,
I seem to remember having plenty of material to trim off after
drilling. I drew a 5/16 line on one side and drilled through the skin, and
drilled through the other skin where it suited. I had a friend holding Fus
33 in place while I drilled just to make sure it was hard against the
bulkheads. Your skins must be in the right place if they fit on the
bulkheads so I'm wondering if your Fus 33 is the right size? Let me know if
you need and I'll measure mine.
Cheers Mike 818R

Thanks Steve and everyone who responded so quickly...

Looks like my Fus33s are definitely not the right size... very frustrating
when you are making great progress. My plan is to get the fuselage
completed
and on the gear by end of spring.

I will try to order these and some other parts from MAM again... if no
answer from them in a couple of weeks, I will be back on the list looking
for more suggestions. In the mean time, what thickness of material should
these corner wraps be. Steve indicates .020, but I think they might be
thicker. The ones I have seem like .025 at least.

I have three left over as I used thicker material on my forward wraps.
They
are 11" wide. They are easy to make. Find someone that is use to
installing
furnace ducting. They will most likely have a roller long enough to make
the

48" length you need. Get some .020 and roll up what you need. If you want
these, let me know. I'm in Alberta.
