Folks,
Up until tonight I have been happy with the progress on my tip up rollbar. The dimensions and fit worked out nicely.
That said, with everything installed tonight I can't get one dimension to match up. The plans say there should be 2 7/8 between the front top of the rollbar and the fuselage station line that appears to match up with the front of the F774 skin. My dimension is coming out at 2 3/8. Everything else matches up. The rollbar incline angle matches the F774 skin side angle, the F732A brace fits perfectly, etc. The only way I can get that additional 1/2 inch space is to further recline the rollbar and cut the 732A brace shorter.
Any ideas? I just missed Van's so I will call them in the a.m. to see what they say.
Thanks if you have any input.
