Much has happened since last post. I have completed the riveting of side skins, and all the root fairing attach angles. I also completed assembly of the seat back brace with its adjustment guides and angles. Finally, after riveting this brace, the gussets, and intercostals in place, I bolted in the roll bar bases.
I am skipping section 30 - where the fuselage and tailcone/aft fuselage get joined up - until I have completed as much of the systems installation in the fuselage as possible. It will be that much harder to do these steps when I have more weight and bulk to move around, not to mention the space issue.
I ordered Berenger brake master cylinders, brake lines, and fuel lines from TS Flightlines. Very nice stuff, and it makes the work of installing fuel/brake systems much easier, plus the Berenger wheels and brakes are better quality, lower weight than the standard stuff.
Today I installed the fuel line brackets, fuel selector, fuel pump, fuel filter, and the fuel line from selector to fuel filter/pump assembly.
Section 31 will go very quickly, then on to rudder/brake installation. I'll wait to do the baggage floors until after joining up the fuse to tailcone.
