Hi All,
I'm getting ready to fit the Graham Singleton stern post (any tips would be
appreciated:) and in setting up I've noticed the two parts aren't that good
a fit. The starboard side is a reasonable fit and I wouldn't be posting
this email if the port side was the same. The port side is a good fit at
the firewall and the overlap area along the side, but where it get's to the
step (where it flares up for the fin) there is about 8mm from where the foam
in the fusalage stops and the outer/inner skins meet. This will therefore
make the overlap 8mm smaller so I'm worried about the strength of the joint.
Is this something I should worry about? What is the minimum acceptable
overlap at the joints?
Cheers,
Mark.
