Default RE: Sterling 48

The five cabin formers were CAd in place. The instructions tell you to mark the cabin sides in accordance with the full size plans to locate the formers. Wrong. The positions on the plans don't line up with the slots in the center cabin piece supporting the formers. A Zona saw was used the enlarge the slots. By the time the front former is in place the sides have been pulled in a half an inch and were ready to break loose from the formers since the only thing holding the sides in was a small end of the formers and some CA. I added a good sized piece of 1/4 inch liteply to keep the cabin sides from pranging out. Dan.
