Because I want the bottom skin/floor to be removeable, The only riveting is at the ends of the C06-02 assembly, and the rear angle support for the idler assembly. So when the floor is un-cleco'd, much of this stuff will be hanging in mid air, other than the clecos temporarily holding the forward end of the assembly to the aft spar tunnel angles.
- Tonight I riveted ALL of those floor structure pieces ON MY WORKBENCH, totally outside of the aircraft.
- Then I laid the entire assembly in the fuselage, cleco'd, then riveted as described above in the first paragraph.
Tomorrow I will work on the final details for installing the seat pan.
Assembly riveted ONLY at the ends (not at the bottom/skin)
Aft section of the spar tunnel removed
C06-02 assembly riveted to the sides, but NOT to the bottom/skin
