F-714 Install, On Afgt. Fuselage

[Mark C.]

New builder question. Should installation of Aft. Deck F-714 fit square to edge of aft. fuselage? I seem to be off by 1/8" on both sides, I can pull together with pressure.. Thanks

Looks about right . . . . .

. . . . to me. If you check the fit of the F-709 bulkhead, (the one that rivets to the forward end of F-714), I think you will find that it would be too wide if you pulled the fuselage sides even with F-714.

just make sure you have proper hole edge distance.

Yep, mine looked about the same as yours.
