Long nose F24 question
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:56 am
'Hi clubmembers
I'm restoring a F24W 46 and the wood portions of the fuselage upper and lower fairings between the wing and stabilizer are mostly gone. I have been told that those bulkhead assemblies of the short nose (pre-war)and the long nose (post-war) series Fairchilds were different. Looking at the application block for the cancelled drawings for those bulkheads, does give different next assembly numbers for the UC61, and I can't find bulkhead drawings that list the F24W46 models in the application blocks. All this makes me think they are somehow different. Is there anyone out there that can tell me the difference, and if they are different does anyone have a set of templates, or an old set of bulkheads for the later models, that they can loan me. I need to make a new set.
Thanks
