Quite a bit done this morning - before 9am. -Separated and smoothed the edges of the 2 F856-1 spacers -Cleco'd the spaces into place under the cockpit rails where the front seatback support will attach. -Cleco'd the seat back supper into place (WD808). Here's where I changed the order. I learned for Jeff Preou's site (THANKS JEFF!) that if you aren't carefull the seat back support will pull away from the edge and subsequently your top rivet/screws holes move inboard and there is no room for that due to the tight edges distances. I clamped the WD808 to the side of the fuse and match drilled it to 3/16". I then removed the cockpit rails and installed the hardware to keep it pulled tight to the backplate. I still needed clamps to keep the backplate flush against the side of the fuselage. I then reinstalled the cockpit rails and match drilled them from below through the WD808 and then from above with the holes in the cockpit rail. I think it worked out well, but I wont know until I take them apart in the next couple of days (if I follow the plans). -Final drilled the bulkhead caps (F804N-1) and removed them. -Match drilled the rudder stops -Removed the F828 bottom most aft skin (where the tail wheel mounts) and bulkhead F812. -Cleco'd the WD409 tailwheel mount to the F812 bulkhead -Layout the location of the WD409 on bulkhead F811. -Cleco'd the F812 and WD409 back onto the fuselage.
Here's the WD808 seatbacksupport. Right side is drilled (copper cleco'd) left is still clamped.
Here's shot of me drilling out the right side.
Here's the WD409 tail wheel weldment cleco'd onto the F812 (left) and F811 (right) bulkheads.
