In case you haven't started on the F411 bulkhead yet, here is a chance to learn from my mistake. Use caution when constructing that bulkhead assembly.... I screwed up, and it sucks. The .25" bars on that bulkhead (that attach the rear spar of the horizontal) have to be notched at the LOWER longerons. BUT, do NOT notch the bars at the top!!!!! The upper LONGERON gets notched instead. (Around the .25" bar) I misread the drawing the first time, and notched the bars at both places. I didn't think it looked right afterwards....DOH! Fortunately, the bulkhead is not permanently installed, so I can just order more bar stock, and make new bars.
I hope that I am the only goober that's made this mistake, but it might behoove the rest of you -4 guys, especially the non-builder owners, to check yours.
