Fuselage - Bulkheads
I added the F-665 pushrod to the control column, and installed the nutplates on the F-704 center section. I decided that the instructions to remove the control column assembly and leave the control column mounts are incorrect, since this is impossible without disassembling the control column. So, I removed the whole assembly, along with the mounts.
While countersinking the nutplates, I was going from one hole to the next, and accidently countersunk one of the two holes at the center of the forward center section--it happens. Anyway, these holes are not supposed to be countersunk. I looked all over for where these holes are used, and I finally found them in DWG 34A. They are used to hold the F-983A Fuel Valve Plate. I decided to just fill the countersink hole with JB weld. I have never used this stuff, so we'll see how it works out.
