In Response To: Re: Strip: Sheer clamp details please (Dan Thaler)

I have to say I am extremely impressed with Dan C's shear clamp/strip easter egg concept (and execution). I'm currently building another Petrel and would like to install the bulkheads ahead of time and am considering adding shear clamps fore and aft of the bulkheads. That way I only need to tape the inner seam in the cockpit area.
Comments?

Dan


Carry on with confidence.The Petrel is very shear clamp friendly. I put the bulkheads in first ,these days,then the shear clamps.The OI I am building now is even easier for this item.
I make a better fit with the shear clamp/ deck, now, as little bits of grit can get stuck in any crack left by a poor fit.
cheers from Paul.
