So you're saying, Steve, that 25 1/2 and 52 1/2 for
station  3 and 5 respectfully at the top longeron are
not correct?  I certainly hope this is not the case
since my fuse was built to those dimensions.  Will my 
angle of incidence be off after using the "corrected
dimensions?  Great idea though to use a full size rib
during fuse construction.
