Brief Description:  Seat Rib Assembly #1

Entry #1 today.

Just to see how it fit and if there were anu issues, I clecoed the entire seat rib assembly together.

It was all dismantled and then I moved onto the fabrication of the F-803E spacers and the F-805D brackets.

The problem with the F805D's is that the piece isn't included with the fuselage kit. I searched high and low in the inventory and electronically and couldn't find the 3/4 aluminum angle that is 1/16 thick. Fortunately, I had a piece from my aileron practice kit!

Fabbed both pieces and deburred.

Moved onto the spar aft spar bulkhead where the gussets, attach bars, and the seatbelt lugs were attached to the F-806B-1 bulkhead. Instead of using a piece of 1/4 ply, I used a piece of 1/4 thick aluminum bar, clamped it in place, used a drill cup and drilled the #30 holes on the outboard location of the attach bars. Final drilled that to #12 as per the plans.
