Fuselage July 2006 Updates July 23, 2006 Misc. and getting reading for the rotating stand.... - 5.0 hrs Had a bunch of misc. stuff to get done. First I installed the bolts on the bottom longerons. There are 5 on each side. Actually I should of done this while the bottom skin was off. Next I riveted the armrests to the F705 bulkhead. There are 3 there and one at the 704. The single front rivet gets done later with a pop rivet when you install the channel covers permantly. By then it was too hot to get the baggage ribs done so I move on to rotating stand. First I mounted the aluminum side angles using the wood blocks and bolts thru the motor mount holes. Next I drilled the bolt holes to allow the square tubing that holds the front of the plane. I read thru the plans and got the next steps down. Should be able to get this thing mounted and flipped this week.
