Brief Description: Got started on fuselage assembly
Got started on the fuselage assembly, put the floor skin on some sawhorses and clecoed the bulkheads to the top of it. When I put the F-706 bulkhead , which has the bellcrank rib on the back, on the front end of the skin, I thought about the autopilot servo that mounts there, so got out the AP directions and saw that the mounting plate for the servo is mounted on the bellcrank rib, to which I had already riveted the stiffener angle. So, I had to drill out a few rivets to mount the plate to the rib. I drilled the plate to the rib for rivets, but drilled the top holes in the angle stiffener for AN3 bolts.
Starting fuse assembly, clecoing bulkheads to the bottom skin.
Found that I had to drill out some rivets to allow for installation of the pitch autopilot servo.
