I got started tonight by fabricating the spacers that sit under the aft deck. \u00a0Here is the one that sits on top of F-710.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>And here is the slightly more complex one that sits on top of F-711. \u00a0After both were fabricated, I stuck them down with carpet tape, replaced the aft deck, and match drilled them and the bulkhead angles.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Next up, I but out the pieces for the elevator bellcrank and scotchbrited everything smooth. \u00a0I then laid out for and drilled the hole used by the autopilot pitch servo pushrod bolt. \u00a0Finally, I reamed all the holes for AN3 bolts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Now that the position of the two ribs holding the elevator bellcrank are fixed, I match drilled and riveted the hole that ties the two angles together.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>I then fabricated the two spacers that sit on either side of the elevator bellcrank bearing. \u00a0An AN4 bolt runs through these to tie the two ribs together.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Finally, I clecoed on the bulkhead gussets. \u00a0I don’t want to match drill these to the longerons yet since the bulkheads are pretty flexible at this point and it would be easy to get them in the wrong spot which would throw off the hole alignment with the top skin.<\/p>\n
