I'm working on the forward fuselage, bending and fitting the parts prior to assembly, and have an issue with hole alignment on the WD822 steel weldment. There seemed to be a problem when I fitted the cover panel on the gear tower, and I tried to cleco everything together including the outer skin to verify the problem. The skin matches everything fine except the weldment. If I were to guess the issue I'd say the weldment was not jigged well or the holes were not referenced correctly. All the holes are accurate relative to each other, but the unit doesn't mesh with the skins.
Waiting for Van's comments or guidance on this. Has anyone else had this issue?
