Beginnings of the center fuselage
Having nowhere to go on the tailcone until more primer arrives, I went ahead and started on the assembly/fabrication tasks in the center fuselage. The first task is to fabricate a set of four spacers from 1/8″ bar stock…done. Then, you modify four of the seat ribs to allow space for the control column…done. The next item is to install nutplates; this will wait until after priming, so I went ahead and drilled out the necessary holes for snap bushings, and clecoed the seat ribs (after fluting) to the aft piece of the center section, along with the requisite trimming of the two center ribs to make room for snap bushings. Looking good…
