June 20, 2009: Tailcone Continued & Seatbacks completed






P. 10-10, step 1-6. Jumped ahead here because still waiting for RTV sealant. Debur F-12106 fwd skin rib. Take care here if using scotchbrite wheel. I did and the part caught on the wheel and bent. The bend was not serious and I rebent and moved on. More dimpling and nutplate installation.

Moved to section 26 to complete the seatbacks. P. 26-02, step 1-6. Initiated work on seatbacks and encounter no problems. Biggest challenge is correctly perceiving the 2-dimensional drawings and getting it right. If you just take the part and hold it up, compare it to the drawing and use common sense you'll get it. If not, use a life-line and call a friend!
