Re: 17LT Bulkhead

If you cannot keep a closed gap at the seam move the bulkhead toward the cockpit a few inches. If you are long legged check for footroom and check the station of the rear of the cockpit opening.

When filleting a gap make a dam on the back side with masking tape and fillet one side and then fillet the other side the next day. You will find the second side will have a better looking fillet than the first so do the side that does not show first.
