'I must be having one of those senior moments, I'm not sure what you mean,"upper and lower fairing bulkheads"? I think that the cause of my distractions is going away, or I'm getting used to them.

The Fairchild drawing was superceded by shop templates on these bulkheads and mine were either missing or deteriated beyond use.

'Yes, I do. And they are in excess to my needs. Do you, or anyone else out there, know what the composition is the packings are, or know what a suitable substitute might be?

Sorry, for not answering sooner. I have been getting lost within the web page on a regular basis.

'Little behind on the email. I am also interest in your tail jacking fixture. Don't want to run up your postage bill.
Any chance you could sent a copy of your drawing to Mike Kelly at the Fairchild Club? Maybe he could
publish it in the newsletter or post it at the Group site.

'If you want, send me your Mailing address to "donna.e@frontier.com" and I will send it to you, or I will send you a "jpg" copy of what I have or both. I am at 775-482-9243 (home) or 702-265-6906 (cell) I don't think that the lower tail end of the fuselage has been altered, and if you have the same fortune, it should work. I built light enough so it wouldn't be a bother to carry it in the baggage compartment all the time. (.3 lbs)
