Having receivd my longer rivets, a managed to rivet the two reinforcing bars on the main bulkhead. It took longer than expected as the first rivets where botched up, and those long rivets are a pain to drill out. But the result look quite good as the picture shows, the nes rivet being the one out of alignment. Working time on this subpart Today : 1h (Total : 40h) |

I finished riveting the forward part of the main bulkhead. Here is a picture with the aft part. On the aft part I have four more rivets to install, unfortunately those that are with the kit are too short. I'll have some longer ones delivered shortly.

Today, I begun assembling the main bulkhead. I first assemble the control column supports and the control column. I needed too long a time to find out how to arrange the washers to have free play of the controls. Once all was solved, I couldn't resist putting my wooden grips on the sticks. Then I decided to apply the latest Service Bulletin from Vans. The right seat stick has to bolted permanently on rather than being left removable. It's only a hole to drill, a bolt, a washer and nut to install. The I riveted the aft part of the bulkhead, to align everything I use the spar bolts.
