August 8, 2005 - Fuselage F-705 Bulkhead

Study the plans carefully before riveting the F-705 together!  It rivets together in a certain order, and if you do it out of order, you will have to drill out rivets.  The instructions don't tell you this order; you have to figure it out.  The main mistake area is in the fork area at each end of the bottom assembly. 

Also, there are many holes that don't get riveted.  I covered the holes that don't get riveted with blue masking tape. 

The happy riveter.  The actual riveting is fairly easy. 
Close up.
