August 11, 2005 - Fuselage F-705 Bulkhead

I didn't like the way the seatbelt anchor brackets overhung the bottom of the bulkhead so I trimed them using the dremel tool.  The brackets are steel but I find cutting steel is easier than cutting aluminum with the dremel tool.  I think it's because the aluminum is softer and the cutting wheel binds.   
Bolting the seatbelt anchor brackets to the bulkhead for the final time. 
F-705 Bulkhead complete!
I am one happy camper.  I spent way too much time on this thing.  But it does look good, doesn't it? 

Notice that the top assembly is only clecoed to the sides.  Final riveting comes later.  I don't really know why -- I'm just following the instructions.
