| Frustrating day. 1st I forgot to rivet the 1049D floor stiffeners in on the previous section so went back and did that, Then began to |
|
| rivet the Firewall assembly to the fwd fuse bottom skins assembly. Riveted the firewall to the fwd bottom edge of the skin, and |
|
| then discovered that I hadn't dimpled/countersunk the bottom of the 1048 firewall ribs @#$%$!!!!! Drilled out the firewall/skin |
|
| rivets, cleaned off the Pro-Seal @#%$!!!! I went back and check the plans to see where it indicated that the 1048 rubs should |
|
| get dimpled/csnk aand I couldn't find it. It's obvious that they need to I should have caught it before starting, Oh Well!!! I ended |
|
| up countersinking them, a dimple really didn't do much as the material is too thick. Then started over again, and planned to back |
|
| rivet these ribs, after drilling out about 30 -40 rivets that I just could not get to set flush, I asked Judy's help and bucked them, |
|
| Should have done that in the 1st place, with her help it took maybe 30-40 minutes vs the 2-3 hours of wasted time $#%@!!! |
|
| Finished up riveting the fwd end of the 1049 floor ribs to the firewall and the aft end of the 1048's to the bulkhead, Then bolted |
|
| and riveted the Fwd center section bulkhead assembly to the Fwd fuse assembly. Tomorrow I'll join the fwd and mid assemblies |
