Title: Center section continued
finishing up some little tasks prior to mating the center section to the tailcone. There are two places on the upper spar cap of the center spar carry through where there are AN4-34A bolts going through spacers that sandwich between the two halves of the F-704. On the A model, these pick up a hole in the main landing gear socket. A conventional gear airplane doesn't have that weldment, and the print just says to stack up washers under the nut to make up the difference. A trial fit of this revealed that it would take 4 washers under the nut. I went ahead and torqued them down but I didn't like the way that it looked so micky mouse. Had to drop Kriya off at KICT for a trip today so afterward, I swung by Airparts, which is right down the street from the terminal. They had AN4-33A bolts on the shelf so I bought a couple to replace the too-long ones. replaced them when I got home, then clecoed the floor panels on and at this point this thing is pretty much ready to go together!
