Brief Description: Fitting Nose Gear and Rudder Pedals
Fixed rudder pedals to a jig and drilled/reamed for AN4 bolts.
Trimmed last layups.
Bolted rudder pedals up with temporary hardware bolts and installed. Looks like I achieved 4.5" travel, which is less than I expected, but more than I need. All seems suitably rigid.
Cut slot in SC an trial installed. Discover I have removed too much from F-22 and will have to pack it. NG-1 is a very tight fit at F-22, will need a better look at why, and maybe have to relieve NG-30 a bit. Will wait until Fuselage is next inverted for a better look at what is going on.
Got sick of looking at ugly nose foam so roughly shaped sides, starting from a tangent line from the sides aft of F-22 and the Nose Bowl.
