August 23, 2005 - Fuselage Bulkhead |
||||||
| I started riveting together the F-706 bulkhead, the last bulkhead I have to rivet. First I rivet the angle reinforcer to the horizontal rib. I just shoot them with the gun, no big deal. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Next I rivet the horizontal rib, center plate, and lower bulkhead
together. Some of the rivets are flush 3-3.5s. I just
dimpled everything, except for the small angle, which I countersunk.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Then I clecoed the vertical rib to the assembly. It doesn't get riveted until much later in the project. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| The last bulkhead, F-706, is
complete! Let's see. The fuselage kit arrived May 27th. It
is now August 23rd. Almost three months to do all the bulkheads.
I gotta pick up the pace!
