Brief Description: Access covers; rear cockpit power port; transducer
I found a few more small jobs to accomplish today. First, I installed the nutplates for the aft fuselage access covers (the ones under the horizontal stabilizer on each side). I think these covers are the only external items on the whole airplane that use non-countersunk hardware. It would have been possible to make them flush, but frankly, I just wanted to get the job done. At last, a project I accomplished that was totally stock!
I also installed the Powerlet socket in the rear cockpit. To maintain the desired military theme of the airplane, I used black socket-head cap screws to attach the backing plate, and it came out looking pretty nice, in my opinion.
Finally, I installed the replacement hex-head socket screw on the fuel flow transducer.
The rear fuselage access covers are attached with four #6 screws each.
