Brief Description: Located and assembled control linkages
Of these hours, 1.0 was by Carole.
Before riveting and setting aside the rear fuselage, I thought it wise to understand the control linkages which proceed from the rear fuselage to the front fuselage. This was a wise thing to do as it can be studied out in the open. I now have all the linkages (except rudder and any cables) temporarily assembled with the proper nuts, bolts, bushings, etc. and now set aside. The linkages are intimately connected with the rear fuselage bulkheads and Iam not going to finish the baggage compartment bulkheads until the front fuselage is ready to assemble to the rear one. This way hopefully we will not have to undo previous steps.
Carole commenced riveting the rear part of the rear fuselage where we don't expect any surprizes later.
