Finishing the Fuselage
PICT0002_resize.JPG (150319 bytes) Angle cut and drilled to F609.  Angle will be used to stiffen the F609 and provide a place to bolt the horizontal stabilizer. PICT0001_resize.JPG (140045 bytes)
PICT0003_resize.JPG (136402 bytes) Spacer on top of angle to make up for thickness of longerons and provide a flat surface.
Here is the finished spacer in place.  I used two AN426 rivets to hold it in place so since the deck will cover it up.
Elevator Horn Stop Blocks/spaceers These two spacers also act as the elevator horn stop blocks which limit the total amount of fore/aft movement of the elevators.
Spacers held in place with rivets

These two brackets are the shoulder harness tie-down brackets.  They mount towards the rear of the plane and will be bolted in place.  There are held in place temporarily until I can rivet the rear deck skin in place.

Here are the brackets in place.
Drilling the bracket into position.
The lower baggage compartment wall cut, drilled and riveted in place.

Here is some detail of the cut to make it fit.
To fabricate the top half of the baggage compartment wall, I made a template from poster board and cut it to fit necessary dimensions.

The result was a nice fitting piece that is drilled and clecoed in place.  I still need to cut the slots and fabricate the guards for the seatbelt harness cables.
This is the two spar caps showing the cut, bend and the installation.  The parts still need to be deburred and primed.
I think I was originally sent these supports as part of the kit but I couldn't find them.  The instructions say to fabricate them, so, since they couldn't be found I made them up as instructed.
The rear deck is shown here with all the holes and slots cut out then set in place for the picture.
