The Murphy Builders Site

I had to put a litle pressure on the side of the fuselage up there to get
the clecos in place after I clecoed the front to the firewall but not a big
deal. Not sure I am following you if this is a different problem ??

Subject: moose firewall/floor

When I placed the forward floor in today for the first time the firewall

is

curved so that there is a 3/16 gap at the center. ie; the side skins are

too

short for the shear webs. When I release the side skins the firewall is

flat

across the 4 shear webs but the side flanges of the firewall and the

forward

edges of the side skins become problematical. Has anyone else seen this
problem?

Hi Jim,

I also had this problem. I had to trim 3.5" from both sides of the front
flange on forward floor sking, then rebuild the flange with some spare
angle. This allowed the new flange to angle back the 3/16" to match the side
skins. The firewall easily bends the 3/16" to line up.
