RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD
Here's another image of what may or may not be a problem. (I'm assuming it is, since the fit of Jeff's kit is normally so good that if something doesn't align properly, I've probably done something incorrectly.)
This image shows how, if I match the fuse sides at the nose, the formers (in this case, F2) are not perpendicular to both sides. At the same time, you can see that the former is exactly aligned with the alignment marks that are etched into the fuse sides. (The images in my previous post, number 341, about this had the fuse sides such that the formers were perpendicular to the sides.)
If I align the fuse sides so the formers are perpendicular to the sides, the right side is a bit less than an eighth inch behind the left side.
This puzzles me, and has put a sharp stop to my building. (I can switch to the wing, but the fuse will just be lying in wait.)
If something went wrong, I am at a complete loss as to what went wrong where. If everything is actually fine, then I didn't understand the instructions.
Cheers(?),
