Brief Description: Reinforced and clecoed arm rests.
This morning I finished deburring the arm rests and fluted them slightly to fit the curvature of the fuselage skin and also so they also lie flat. Clecoed them in place and the fit is good. I will drill them next session and may put some angle on the bottom side to make them a little beefier. I have read on VAF where they can bend if a bubba uses them for support when getting in or out of the airplane.
Tonight I drilled the F-720 arm rests and reinforced them with left over J-Stringer from the aft fuselage. I back riveted it using oops rivets and I am happy with the results. It didn't take much time to do this or add much weight, but the arm rests are very rigid now with the reinforcement. They did seem pretty flimsy before.
