Hi guys,
thanks all for the responses. Doing further research I have an idea of bolting thin furring strips to the aluminum fuselage structure. Countersink the heads, washers, lock nuts. My idea is to soak these and bolt them gently to the fuselage with so they can cure to the correct curve. Then remove the furring and fully varnish it. Re-attach via lock nuts. Then glue the fuselage siding onto the underlying furring. The benefits are removable of the fuselage skins can be accomplished by unbolting the underlying furring strips from the aluminum. The other benefit is I avoid a direct glue joint between aluminum and wood. Comments ??????????? Candice |
