Not at all. This is a VERY common construction error with any of these airplanes. We've seen this on Pitts, Skybolts, and other similar designs. The problem arises when the side panels of the fuse are laid out. The station numbers describe the finished fuselage, not the tube locations of the side panels in the jig. When the longerons are bent inward to meet at the tailpost, the fuse shrinks an inch or so, depending on the airplane type. As far as flight performance or weight & balance is concerned, the difference is too small to matter.
