Brief Description: Continued work on Bulkhead
|
|
Went through entire packing list, could not find any reference to the AN5-26, but AN5-25 was in the pack and listed on the packing list, so tried those. After torque they had roughly two threads showing so seem ok to me. If I need to buy some AN5-25s for something later, I guess I will...
Building went pretty smooth except angles on section 11 - I had one set backwards or upside down, manual should be a little clearer on which was the large hole goes.
Got down to putting the SB6-8 rivets in, and had to just about break my hands doing with my best rivet gun (manual). Then I pulled out an old pair that I had with slightly better leverage and was able to do all 20, but only just barely. These are steel rivets, not aluminum and were pretty hard to do. I have alot of strength in my hands and just barely did them, making me think that a pneumatic or electric gun might be useful afterall... I may look for a cheap one later, of course, these were probably the toughest to do anywhere on the airplane, so worst might be behind us...
Appreciate Jon, he's excited to be helping build and future co-pilot!
