Brief Description: Modified bottom tailcone skin to fit
|
|
Went from Sept 8 until Oct 20 without doing much, good thing was I am covered up with work, bad thing is that our son-in-law's injuries turned out to be both serious and permanent, in the form of paralysis from about the shoulder blades down. Makes the rest of our problems seem pretty trivial.
About all I had done in that period was rivet together and prime the last 3 bulkheads, nothing worth picturing.
It's now December, in October I found that the bottom tailcons skin wasn't bent properly, so emailed Van's about it, and after whining a bit about how thick that particular skin was and thus difficult to bend, they agreed to send another. They did, and it had the same problem, the left side "curl" was incomplete.

Tailcone lower skin with left side (right in pic) not bent sufficiently
|
|
Front end with skin not conforming to the shape of the bulkhead.
|
|
Same thing at the back, skin is too thick to just pull it in and rivet.
