Now that angle you fixed up and made straight,i actually thought they were at two different angles infact and not straight.I built mine this way and now i hope it's right?A bit of input from people who know will help,but i'm bloody curious now that you have done that with yours.Richard??
Phil,
From what I can see from looking at all the the pics there are two slightly different slope angles there: about 6-7 degrees of difference. I would estimate by Jason's shims that they should be about half that tall at the rear end to get the proper angle.
It was looking pretty good, but Jason was correct in the angle was too steep, I can see that now that he tore it apart for a rebuild.
Richard
Thanks there Richard!
Thats how i was seeing it and when i did mine i had to do the same thing and shim up the back of the waist a little to reduce the amount of angle.I think you are pretty spot on there with reducing the shim by about half of what Jase has done there.
For mine Jase,i went for 4mm of spacing on that back edge mate and you really do have your head around it all i feel.You are correct as far as i know in that the F-16 is cut so it still sits flat on the two slightly different angled panels.
Just remember that this is one of the trickier areas,it's not gonna all be as complicated as this bit thankfully.You'll nail it,it just takes a little working to get something that works mate.
Keep at it bud!!
