[Rhodes22-list] Lou, C/B Stuck board up

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Ed,
  I think you are right on the money here.   The trunk is not a 
straight path down there seems to be some bulging out but not in the 
direction of that stringer.. of course that doesnt mean anything.. I 
do think the CB will operate ok but may not come out again without 
assistance from a jack below if the swelling in the trunk is the 
problem.  By next wk I hope to have some pics of the trunk from the 
cabin  for analysis.
thanks Ed K
  Lou
