I have just had an interesting conversation with Louise at Hachette
regarding the suspect cross member for the fuel tank,the builder of
the 'Beta' model assures us that it is not quite as bad as things may
look at first,apparently there are two more metal fittings that are
located onto the fuselage longerons just where the cross brace is
fitted,I am also told that this structure is hidden underneath the
fuselage sheeting in that area,there could still be a possibly
discrepency of aprox 1 mm but as the longerons are still quite springy
at this stage and without the respective fittings it is difficult to
judge at the present time.
So under these circumstances it will probably be better to wait before
any modifications are deemed necessary in this area.
