Zenith 750 Cruzer, Thinking how to install the fuselage top skin

November 23, 2024

The drawings shows the Forward Top Skim with an open hole for the cabin frame.
The actual part has a closed hole. With the firewall assembled and partially riveted to the fuselage it is not clear how to put the Forward Top Skin in place.
Zenith said - either try to push it through the gap between the firewall and the cabin frame or cut the skin and use 0.025 thick patch with A5 rivets pitch 40, like Super Duty has.
