Page 23-06 Step 2
is one of the last steps of attaching the fuselage side skins.
The bit I am having trouble with is the alignment of the roll bar attach plates and the longeron.
Step 2 states : "... Align the outboard edge of the F-1205B Roll Bar Attach Plates with the vertex of the longeron. ... "
now I think that means that the edge of the roll bar attach plate should be flush with the vertical flange of the longeron.
which it is in my case, BUT the F-1234 canopy decks were fitted so that they overhang the longeron and cover the top edge of the side skin.
should the F-1205B roll bar attach plates also cover the top edge of the side skin in the same way?
If so, I don't see how to get that to happen, since the longeron is held firmly in place by the F-1204C fwd bulkhead
and the F-1205B roll bar attach plates are riveted to the same F-1204C.
I'd need to either file the F-1204C bulkhead or notch the longeron, unless there's something else I am missing?
