Oct 24, 2020     misc clean up       Category: Fuselage
Today did some clean up inside the fuselage. Installed the rudder pulley in the cockpit, the aft pitot static lines, added a 1/4 inch cut for the rudder bearing plate and the bolts to VP service Bulletin #1.
I also realized that I am not going to install the top skin until later. There are inside fuselage things that need to be done before I seal it in and I do not want to work through 3" inspection holes. I guess the biggest moment of realization was looking at the 1/4 inch by 5 inch cut in F15. A 5 inch triangular aluminum plate slides in this hole and a 5 inch plate will not go through a 3 inch hole. There is a 6" hole in the seat back but somehow sliding it all the way aft seemed counter productive.

And if you look closely at the pitot static opening in the sides of the fuselage - yes, they are covered in cut out pieces of a Coke can. This is as per the plans.
