Brief Description: aft cabin covers & aft baggage compartment
|
|
finished fitting the aft side cabin covers. these aren't difficult pieces to install, but does take an iterative process to fit, trim, fit, trim, etc until the panels mate properly with the armrest. on the initial fit of the port side, i installed the cover without the flap motor installed. murphy's law applied. once installed, the flap motor touched the cover just a "smidge" at the flaps down setting. there was actually miniscule interference, and probably would not cause any problems with some anti-chafing tape applied, but i moved the panel out a 1/4" anyway. the old hole will be hidden behind the panel, so it will never show.
also drilled out the f835 aft baggage floor and f835 aft baggage shelf. even though these were wash primed from the factory, i will shoot them with vari-prime and paint before reinstalling. was considering install the floor with screws to make it removable, but i'll pop rivet per plans. there is plenty of floor access forward and aft.
spent some time looking over plans for forward cabin consoles, rudder pedals, and the remainder of the fuselage build
