| We're basically done with the elevators. We're holding off rolling & closing up the leading edge until
our first tech counselor visit. Probably don't need to, but would
like for him to peer in and check things out. Since we've still
got some busy work left on the elevators we're also waiting to
safety-wire the trim tabs on. So... for now, the elevators are back 'On Hold'. |
(10-5 step 3): This morning Angela duburred all the ends of the F-1047 fuselage stiffeners.
|
(10-5 step 4): After
the stiffeners were deburred we put together this little contraption to
mark the rivet centerline holes. It's a 2x4 scrap piece with a
spacer and a pen taped to it… basically its just whatever was
laying around that provided the correct spacing for the line we needed
to draw! We just rest the 2x4 against the edge of the stiffener,
and the pen is spaced perfectly 5/16" from the edge. Slide it
down the length of the stiffener and we've got our rivet centerline!
|
(10-4 steps 4 & 5): I
jumped in and clecoed the F-1007 frame together and final drilled the
common holes. After that I used a unibit to open up the indicated
holes to 5/8".
|
(10-5 step 1): Next
I began deburring the F-1006 bulkhead pieces. While doing this
Angela started setting up to begin the pre-assembly of the
tailcone… Well, I just couldn't let her do that alone so I
didn't get very far with the deburring!
|
(10-7 step 2): So…
now that my attention was thoroughly diverted away from my deburring
duties, Angela & I teamed up to cleco the bulkhead frames to the
bottom skin of the aircraft tailcone. Once the bulkhead frames
were in place (ok, all of them except for the one I haven't finished
deburring yet) we slid the two F-1047F stiffeners into position until
the rivet marks on them were visible with the last hole on the
skine. Once in place, I clamped it still and match drilled the
hole. A quick cleco to hold it in place and we were done for the
day... gotta go to work... again... Way too much OT lately!
