Brief Description: Misc details before back to plans
I took care of many little details before moving onto the next step in the instructions. Several items didn't seem to be addressed in the instruction descriptions. Drilling the F-904K side plates needed to be done before the canopy rails get installed. I drilled them to the bulkhead. Not sure that I want to rivet them yet so I will install later. Since I'm building a RV9 with the tailwheel I needed to install the floor gusset plates. They had been fitted earlier but were not installed. The front floor angles where they meet the firewall and main spar needed to be riveted, done. Also did several other misc. items previously left undone, a rivet here, a bolt there, some more difficult than others but all important to be completed.
Feeling like I had caught up on several loose ends I began to fit the canopy gussets and rails to the fuselage. Fab the gussets, countersink the longerons, dimple the canopy rails.
