Hi Noel
It's a geometric fact. Imagine a playing card stood up on a flat table along
its edge. Flex the ends and then tilt it.The centre raises off the table.
Either work with it, leave your sides at right angles or, as some have done,
adjust your fuselage uprights to create a curved longeron that becomes
straight when you stand it up and tilt it for the taper. I think Mark
Langford's site might have the lengths of the uprights needed to achieve
this.....or search our archives. Most people just live with the banana and
use a right angle to their firewall as a fixed reference to work off.
