Dec 03, 2020     Quick Build Fixes - (6 hours)       Category: Inspection
The new build manual now comes with each page delineating what items should have been built as part of the QB and which items should be installed by the builder. I found some items missing from the Quick Build that the plans listed as installed.

This has prompted me to do a page by page review of the build and I found some more missing or incomplete items. Incomplete as in parts not installed or in one case a bracket clecoed but not bolted. Parts with some rivets missing.

Missing parts have been ordered such as the supports for the rear seat and baggage floor. Because of the completeness of some sections getting to these areas is going to be a challenge. Ex..I had to use locking forceps to hold small nuts tot get at least the first threads going.

I've spoken to some other builders of different kits and they say this is not at all unusual. The nice thing is the new TAF build manuals are going to make this task much easier.
