Hi All:
I just finishedthe turtle deck for my S1C Pittsbut have a slight bit of interfearance with the "A" frame that supports the vertical stabilizer leading edge tube. Due to the fact the vertical stabilizer is offset 1/2", on the leading edge, the "A" frame is not centered on the fuselage. When I put the turtle deck on I have about 1/8" interfearance on the left side. I have to spring open the left overhang behind the rear turtle deck bulkhead to getthe turtle deckon. Not much only about 1/8" but those over hangs are very stiff, behind the rear bulkhead, when all glued up so it takes a bit of force to do it. Just wondering if anyone else has had thissituation and if anything should be done about it.


Thanks
Matt
