Ordering Bulkhead Flanges - How Many?

[David Paule]

I'm going to add some F-803CPP Inst Panel Attach strips to my fuselage kit order to save a bit of time. Yes, I've checked and according to the plans, at least the drawings I looked at, the thicknesses are all .032. The question, is how many should I order?

1 for the instrument panel, to use instead of the angle that's specified.

1 for F-306 and

1 for F-308, both of these for the tops of the bulkheads.

How about any others? Or the bottoms of these and F-307 bulkheads?

Thanks!

Dave

That's not a bad idea Dave - we made our own "slinky flange", but using the stuff from the RV-8 panel makes sense. To be honest though you probably won't know how much until you start fitting up your particular fuselage and see what needs to be replaced to get the fit you want. You probably won't finish the fuselage in a short weekend, so you'll have time to wait for stuff to arrive from van's....
