I'm not sure what to do yet for that floor. I was thinking of the witches
hat too but didn't want it hanging out there on the outside.

Hi Mike
The forward carrythrough must have its ends angled back to clear the 452.
I
had already cut mine back before I fitted the 452, but still had to file
it
back on the lower edges to allow a small clearance to prevent it catching
the 452.
I did not add a fold below the FUS-9, but am still happy with the way it
looks.
I replaced the avex rivets in my door post with cherrymax all the way to
make it stronger. I've also added Wayne's firewall stiffeners, and 2 under
floor strips of witches hat to strengthen the under rudder pedal area.

I have it this way also and I don't like the way it hugs the carrythrough.
Is it supposed to be like that? I just as soon cut it short of the strut
bracket.
Also, I forgot to ask. The side panels are mentioned in the manual of a
crease in them near where they attach to the carrythrough vertical. Mine
don't have this, I was thinking maybe I should put one in it to match the
fus 9??
Thanks,

Hi Mike
I slotted mine to allow the forward of the two strut bracket halves to
fit
through. The FUS-452 then picks up the rivet line up and down the
vertical
door posts. It helps if you can get the use of a shrinker to contract the
underneath of the 452 beneath the spring gear saddles to help it follow
the
curvature of the forward fuselage.

Thanks for the info all,
I'm using the fus-452's for the forward lower corners, how are they
fitted?
Do they need to be sloted to go around the strut bracket attach point or
do
they end up just short of it?
Thanks,

Mike:
There's a picture of my panel in the archives, (E Panels/Panel FGAH),
plus
I
just uploaded one of the nose section under construction to E Fuselage,
which may help.
On the panel glare shield, you could trim the nose top skin off flush
aft
of
the panel, or let it protrude and roll it round as advised by Ralph, but
I
went a little further, and it worked out really nice (IMHO!), as shown
in
the picture. Trim it flush with the panel, then build a fiberglass
glareshield that protrudes aft about 2", and down about an inch. Curve
the
edges nicely so if your head hits it, you don't do too much damage (to
the
head!). Paint it matt black. Then install one of those
electroluminescent
lighting strips (e.g. www.aeroenhancements.com) under the glareshield
where
you can't see it, but it provides nice uniform illumination to the
entire
panel.
Hope this helps.

clecos on to the firewall ok with 2 prepunched holes but on the panel
end
it
would have to be cut off 2-3" and cut to match the V's of the panel.
What
adds to the confusion is there are 3 prepunched holes on that end of the
piece that would end up getting cut off in the process. Also the fus-433
has
2 creases in it to aid in going on something with a curve which I don't
under stand. 3", the level along the Either still the join in engine doesn't
