Fuselage - Bulkheads
I got the two longeron angles down from where they were hanging, since I am just about ready to start on them. Those suckers are almost as long as my garage. Things are going to start getting crowded, so I cleaned out the garage a little, but there's not much more that I can move out.
Before starting on the longerons, I needed to finished-up the rear bulkheads. I figured I just needed to squeeze a few rivets, and I would be done, but things don't always go as you plan. I started to cleco the F-706 bulkheads to the already riveted F-706B/F-728/F-729 assembly, and things did not fit quite right, so I looked at the plans. Somehow, looking at DWG-26, I convinced myself that the F-706 parts were backwards, so I reversed them and riveted them to the F-706B bulkhead bottom. Of course, if I had looked at DWG-21 a little closer, it would have been obvious how these parts go together. Anyway, I had to drill out all of the rivets on the F-706 parts, and redo them.
After riveting all of the rear bulkheads, I realized that I had not prepared the F-712E tiedown part. So, I had to trim the corners, deburr it, and then tap the hole for the tiedown ring. This part did not get primed with the other parts, so I will have to shoot it later. It's not going to get attached anytime soon.
