| I finished up installing the aft baggage bulkhead with the access door modification. I exchanged some of the camloc fasteners |
|
| (-5's) for some with a shorter throw (-4's) . I think that using the 2 in the corners will work OK. I also cut out a hole for the 12V |
|
| power receptical and then mounted the whole shebang using clecos. The door opens and closes without any binding, seems like |
|
| I'll have reasonable access to most of the items in the aft for service without having to remove the bulkhead itself. The whole |
|
| bulkhead will be covered (held w/ velcro) by an upholstered piece that has EXPERIMANTAL embroidered on it. The heat is |
|
| beginning to take it's toll on me, so not too much progress today. I think I've figured out how to finish the side panels (pilot and |
|
| co-pilot) in the forward cabin. The issues is that the compund curves at the top are not in the same plane as the intercostals or |
|
| the fuse ribs to which a close out panel needs to be attached. So I used some mylar packing tape. to make a 'form' that will |
|
| transition from the upper compound curve area to the lower (wider) portion of the close out. Then I layed-up an 4 ply section of |
|
| fiberglass, when it cures I'll rivet/bind it to a piece (.025") of 2024 alclad, and the combo will get covered with thin foam and the |
|
| tweed upholstery material. I need to figure out how to get some map pockets sewn/attached to the lower portions of the combo |
