I've been fitting my firewall and I don't care for the way the "fingers" lay in the longeron.

One finger lays flat the other does not as it seems to be tipped by the radius of the angle.

And the way the "fingers" split. I'm not sure the there would be enough ED on the one side.

Does this look normal or do I need to adjust something?

Thanks in advance,

Fine-tune the twist

Re-measure your bends and particularly the twist angle at the front ends. Looks like your longeron end isn't as twisted as it needs to be.

When you attach the side skin, it tends to untwist the longeron. Watch for that.

Yep, that's it. Have set the 17* twist but did notice that it rolled back some when the skin went on.

I'll wrap it up a little tighter and fit it again.

Many Thanks!!
