Default RE: Jack Stafford Chipmunk

I have the tail wheel assembly made, it will control the rudder at the same time. I need to take it to work tomorrow and weld a metal control horn to the wire before installing. I just noticed that I got in a hurry and removed the tape and rubber bands too soon that I had holding the foreward fuselage to the firewall wile the epoxy was setting up. The lower fuselage sides pulled away from the firewall approx. 1/8" . Now I have to grind that epoxy away and epoxy the firewall again. I will get that fixed up and let everything sit until tomorrow. Live and learn, I knew better than to remove the tape until the epoxy had time to fully cure.
