Default Elder 40 almost in bones!

Hey all, its been a while since I posted about my progerss on here, I have the wing, stab, vertical stab and most of the fuse done! I was test fitting the pieces together so i could see the outline of a plane and noticed that the vertical stab will not slide in the notch of the horizontal.. anybody else had problems with this?? the obvious thing to do would be to sand it down a bit, but just wanted to verify that this is the right thing to do!! Thanks a LOT

Aglaser:
It's been a long time since I built mine with an enlarged copy of plans of a Top Flite Elder 40 size. Since I fabricated every piece according with plans, I had to make everything fitting OK. I do not have the original plans anymore and I'd like to know the distance from the firewall to the end of the fuse. Would you care to measure from your plans for me please?
Thanks.

Alfredo.

Hey alfred, on my plans, from the front of the firewall to the end of the fuse is 42 and 3/4 of an inch... Hope this helps!! Btw the firewall is 1/4th of an inch thick
