Skin overlap

[DWC7A]

?? How critical is the scarfing of the top and bottom skins at the overlap? I am not worried about the overlap so much, I am scarfing for a low profile where the overlap is behind the tank, top and bottom. What did you do?

The scarfing is not critical at all, from a structural point of view. It is mostly an asthetics issue. I chose to do a little, just to get things to lay right and called it quits. Based on your referance to the tank, I am assuming you are are talking about the wing skins....

Thanks, Larry. I am not so worried about the looks. I do not like scarfing very much in this area. I am talking about the wing skins. I will have a larger lip sticking up if I do not scarf much here, but I do not think this is a big issue. Just wondered if anyone else felt the same. Thanks Dennis
