Mar 15, 2023     Center Fuselage       Category: Fuselage
More work on the center fuselage. I have been finding more and more things in the plan that are misleading and/or incorrect. For example some of the rivnuts that the plans show installed interfere with the seat rail and I reached out to technical which confirmed they had to be removed. Also I was inspecting my rudder cable to ensure it was correct in accordance with a sling safety bulletin and I found my cable had some problems with it. I sent pictures to technical and Sling is sending a new cable. Additionally, I have rivets that simply will not fit where the holes are factory drilled. Its annoying but I have been shortening some of the rivets. Lastly some of the longerons dont have all of the holes predrilled but I have been clecoing what I can and drilling the rest of the holes. Its not the end of the world but I havent had to do that yet, maybe I am spoiled?
I also added the brake lines tot he toe brakes which was straight forward.
Lastly, the parts that I have been waiting on since November, that were damaged in Torrence California, will be repackaged and sent directly to my house from Africa in the next few days. That should help a bunch as I have been waiting on the rear fuselage skins. I guess I will have to make sure I finish up the rear fuselage wiring so I can put those skins on. Actually I need those skins off to swap out the rudder cable so it works out.
