I think the trim line curved up a little at the thick part near the
firewall. Did you try to make the line visible by using a pencil over it?
There should be a trim line on the tail section too. Leave the same amount
of "joggle" back there.
I cut close to the trim line with a jigsaw and then sanded to the line with
a permagrit block. Then when it was time to get the fuse level in the
fixture, putting the level across from edge to edge on the lower fuse seemed
accurate.

Subject: Europa-List: Trimming the XS canoe
After stashing away my wings while waiting on my strobes to arrive, I'm
marching forward to CHAPTER 11! <fanfare please>
My question is about trimming the fuselage bottom < page 11-1 > The manual
says to cut the molding at the trim line which is barley visible. No
problem
there. Until I get next to the firewall... No trim line in the short rounded
corner where regular epoxy stops, and phenolic resin begins. Hummm...
Question 1.
Should I trim all the way to the flat edge of the firewall or should I leave
the rounded Corner?
Question 2.
At the opposite end I see the trim line. I assume that I need to trim the
area where the tail attaches as well. True?
Once again. Thanks to all for your opinions, tips, and most of all ...
warnings.
