Bellcrank & AP Servo mount

November 15, 2008 9:52 AM
I made the F-635 elevator bellcrank and mounted the bracket for the TruTrak ADI Pilot II. I had to drill out the four existing rivets in the center rib.  Then Pam got under the plane and helped drive the rivets that attach the mount to the bottom skin.

Top Fuselage Skin

Initial fit of the top aft fuselage skin (F-774) was not so good. You can see here the flange of the F-706 bulkhead will need to be tweaked to get a decent fit.

F-757 Gussetts

The fabrication of the F-757 gussets vary depending upon which canopy design you use. I'll have the tip-up canopy, so I had to cut out the square hole and trim the side rails just so.  The remaining rivets will be driven later.
