Hi All, First of all, thanks to all the contributors on this list. There is always something new to learn.
Which leads to my point: I have changed the canopy on my plane. The result is that it stands about 15cm (6") higher than the existing turtle deck. Now I need to lift the turtle deck. The problem is that the old deck is actually quite well built, and I do not really want to replace the whole thing. My idea is just to replace the forward part, of about 90cm to 130cm measured from the canopy. The resulting questions are: 1. How do you blend the raised part to the original part that stays intact with the tail? 2. Is it safe to leave a break in the t-deck, or should it be one continuous construction from canopy to tail? 3. If it is OK to replace a part, what should the form be. Straight from the canopy to the intersection, a "S" curve (like a Coke bottle), concave, convex, or whatever? 4. Any general tips would be welcome.
