Scott, I'm referring to shape, if it was a hatch, did air go into maybe a composite wing through the fuse?

If air gets in the fuse, I'm not sure there should be a compromise of the whole airplane.

If a cause is found, I would be interested to know because it will help me in what I'm building.

As you know I've not owned as many BV airplanes as you have, but have owned three or four and I would not dig on their quality in any way whatsoever. They are very well built airplanes. I'm interested purely from the aspect of building a better airplane, not "better than a BV airplane", just a better airplane.
