[rebel-builders] Fus-4 alignment
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:08 pm
Hi Ben: I have been though this 3 times now with Rebels and I would shim
what ever needed to be shimmed to achieve the squareness. As far as the
uprights being square to the table, I don't think is as critical as having
them parallel to the tail cone bulkheads or bulkhead F. This determines the
wing attach fitting spacing. I have always managed to get both sides
parallel and alike within 1/16. The cabin root rib helps achieve this also
providing you keep both sides the same. I hope this helps somewhat and I am
sure our experience man Wayne can add some tips. Bob J.

Hi all
I'm working on getting alignment of the Fus-4 with Fus-26 and Bulkhead F.
This is where the Fus-4 and carry-thru's are bolted upright to the table,
then the tail and Bulkhead A raised for alignment. My question is, what
kind of alignment tolerance is there?
