RV-9A Fuselage Construction
Wednesday, October 13, 2004
 
This-n-that
- Primed the rivet lines on the aft top fuse skin and cleco'd it back on. Will rivet it on this weekend. Leaving off the forward skin since it appears to be easier when fitting the canopy with it off.

- Match drilled the gascolator reinforcement bracket to the firewall. This is a FWF kit item but I ordered it so I could put it on while I had easy access. I also added the contactors and battery box to my finish kit order so I could mount those to the FW as well before getting the panel area in place.

- Match drilled the 704K cap strips to the 904 arms.

- Spent about 30 minutes correcting a mistake I made on the 705 seat back bulkhead. I installed the 705K plates on backwards. The slight bend should be aft, inside the angle, I had it forward, which made it very difficult to slide the seat back brace into. I almost left it was it was since the seat back will rarely get adjusted but decided to do it right. Once you guys might point out my mistake some day!
