Finishing up roll over structure

Since last post, completed all the drilling, countersinking, riveting, painting, and installation of the roll bar assembly.  Still need to rivet the aft brace to the skin and baggage bulkhead.  After this will install the skin stiffener next to roll bar and that will wrap up section 37.

A forest of clecos - and a very sore hand

Since last post, I fitted the co-pilot stick to its base and checked travel limits of the stick (as well as verifying that stick bases are contacting both stops: I had previously checked this and filed one of the stops so this was just a verification).   I'm good with stick travel - about 14.5 degrees down and 25 degrees up so no adjustments needed at stick.  It will be a while before I install the aft-most control rod because I need to move things around in the shop to get the HS / elevators mounted in order to check travel there.

Also prepped / primed the rollover structure parts, and starting by riveting the two "halves" of the forward and aft sections of the roll bar.  Next I clecoed the structure together and final-drilled from #40 to #30.   LOTS of cleco action here - my right hand is very sore!

I'll deburr everything well and start riveting this in the next day or two.
