Brief Description: Section 5, final fitting airframe to the hull
Since I finally got the part in from the factory I was waiting on before I could do this, tonight only involved the final securing of the airframe to the hull, which is more time consuming with all the aluminum brackets I crafted to secure it down better. I really try my best to only do the modifications that make the most sense, and adding these brackets is one of them. It is rock solidly one with the hull now.
Maybe I don't know what the secret is, but getting the nuts on the bolts on both sides of the front stringer and under the rudder heel plate is quite the challenge... or more like delicate operation. It just takes the right tools. I had a very small camera with a light that I stuck under the corner and zoomed in on the bolt. I used some fancy specialized needle-nose plyers to put the washer on, then I placed the bolt inside a socket with a long extension, and turned the front of the bolt until it was threaded.
Airframe is now permanently attached to the stringers.
Special tools for an impossible job.
Rudder plate not carpeted yet, just has the soundproofing pad, which adds nice padding under carpet.
