Title: Section 35 complete
The big items I got done here were the piano hinges, the air vents and the canopy release system. One of my hinges the edge distance wasn't what I wanted it to be so I ended up remaking that side and was more careful on the second side. It's a pretty easy task although doing it on a curve made it a little more challenging to keep it aligned. The jettison mechanism was pretty simple to install once I got the assembly together and greased it up. The righ pin is a little longer than the left pin but both pins go completely through so I don't think there's anything to worry about. Would like to know what the specs are for that. I ended up fabricating my own air vent containers that were the same outline as the Vans air vents. I didn't like the way vans sandwiched the vents in between the fiberglass and the holder. I would prefer to just be able to remove the vents by removing the 4 screws. I painted it black to match although I still have not finalized a color scheme for the plane yet. I've still been working on some odds and ends so my builders log is not as organized as it was before. Mainly I am just stalling for my wings to come in and I don't want to install my top skin without first installing my avionics so I am done with this section for now. I also got my sticks in from Aerontronics so I can go back and finish the control systems while I wait for my wings. Wings are arriving sometime after January 15. So I'm very excited!
