Top Fuse Stringers

[Wes Ragle]

Wes - I filed mine down to create a smooth transition from the stringers to the tail former, after it was temporarily pinned, so I could file the steel and alloy together into a smooth shape.

You can see the result here, note I used a panel fabric method with a seam in that area:


I also filed the edges of all the stringers, per the manual [Big job].

Hi Jonathan,

Looks like you nailed it. I will attempt some gentle smoothing.

Thanks,

Wes

P.S. Just back from holiday

Hi Mark,

That looks good. The stringers Mark G. supplies are an extruded hollow bar. I'll get a sample piece and destroy it multiple ways until I find something that looks right.
