REFLECTOR: Leveling: Center Line
Well, it
is now clear that my bottom fuselage is somewhat twisted.. in order to get
bulkhead locations level side to side.. I end up with a cowl that is 3/4 inch
high on one side... Any suggestions? Is this a freak occurance? Also, I
went ahead while I had the thing loose again and turned it over and cut out the
nose gear door hole according to the factory markings... Cut it perfectly
straight... And at a glance it doesn't look like its perfectly centered to the
centerline.. Perhaps not crucial.. Do the factory markings tend to be off? It's
possible the twist has affected my center line I suppose also.. The way I figure
it, even if the fuselage were twisted, bringing it into level at two or three
bulkhead locations should bring it to a straight alignment, provided that it is
semetrical.. When canard bulkhead and firewall are level the back end is way
off.. Conclusion,,, fuselage is Asemetrical.. What should I do?? It's not going
to untwist in the air is it?? I assume I'm going to have to just level the
bulkheads and worry about the back later... right?
Any comments or suggestions
are much appreciated..
