Fuselage - 4

October 05, 2014 - 16 hours, 425 total hours on the project. This is a summary of work performed over the past two weekends. Focus of effort was assembly of the left and right seat floor assembly and associated subassemblies.

First task was to prepare all subassemblies that make up the pulley brackets; flaperon mixer are assembly; seat ribs; and finally, the left and right seat floor assemblies.

In this picture you can see the elements of the pulley and flaperon mixer assembly. Priming complete.

 Pictured here are the seat ribs. There are four ribs each, left and right seat.

 The pulley bracket assembly is then cleco'd and riveted.

 This  is the completed pulley bracket assembly that mounts between the middle two seat ribs of the right set floor assembly.

 Here is the completed flaperon mixer assembly. It mounts to the inside left seat assembly. The mixer is essentially towards the center of the fuselage.

 Here's an error that I'll point out. My mistake- if you look at the left nutplate attach, bottom rivet, you can see an extra dimple hole. The dimple die was off a little bit and I managed to create a new hole.

 Pulley bearing mounted between the two inboard seat ribs.

 Flaperon mixer mounted between  the two left inboard ribs.

 The next few pictures show the left a right seat floor assembly attached to the center section bulkhead.

 Bushings in place on all ribs. Still need to complete riveting of the assemblies to the bulkhead.
