FUS 7

We are at the point where we are putting FUS 7 and the firewall in to the Rebel. We are putting in a Lycoming 0290 and the plans say cut the flange back on FUS 7 3 inches but the picture shows cutting FUS 7 all the way across. If we do this won't the fuselage stick out on both sides? The cross pipes FUS 5 will be too long then? What exactly are we supposed to do here?

Jim, You may have to take a bit more off the end of the front FUS 5 to
clear the corner wrap but the corner wrap takes up the differences. From
memory I needed to pay attention to the trimming of the flanges of the side
panels and particularly FUS 7 adjacent to the firewall. I have spring gear
and needed to think very carefully about where to trim the corner wrap at
the carry throughs but haven't thought through the bungee gear
requirements. Good luck. There are some pics on some of the builders sites
I think. Cheers Mike 818R
