January 23, 2009: Step Attach Angles

Pg. 21-17, step 7-9 went well. I am taking a lot of time, but finding that since this is not a race, I'm better off this way. On step 8, the directions call for you to make the step pad horizontal, however, make sure the "the inbd. Top corner of the step is to remain even with or below the beginning of the radius of the F-1202F bulkhead." What's the radius of the bulkhead? I was scratching my head on this one, but the drawings are clear and having Wendy read the directions too, it became clear. So, the pad looked horizontal and the top corner was just below the curve of the flange on the top of bulkhead, and I did my drilliing and things worked out well. After all holes were drilled, I took things apart and primed the F-1236A-L & B-L.
