Riveting feels good, so I made myself feel good by riveting the side channel doublers in place.
\n<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the cabin floor is about to get a lot busier. First up is the brake cylinder supports, they come in two pairs, undrilled. I (thought I) followed the instructions in the book for installing them properly but when I went to test fit a cylinder I found that one pair was not properly aligned and I could not get the bolt through it.
\n
\nSince I drilled that pair I will have to order replacements, hopefully not too expensive. The book calls for a size 12 hole but the plans say size 20 so for now I finished them at size 20.
\n<\/p>\n

From here it was just a whirlwind of adding on parts using pre-drilled holes, I wish the whole kit was like this! First on was the heel support.
\n<\/p>\n

Then the seat channel:
\n<\/p>\n

And the seat supports:
\n<\/p>\n

The gear channel (which is where the front and rear fuselage will join):
\n<\/p>\n

The left and right arm rests:
\n<\/p>\n

Finally, there are two rear seat supports that sit on top of the gear channel.
\n<\/p>\n

Now time for a bit of real work. I needed to fabricate two l-angles to attach each seat support to the gear channel.
\n<\/p>\n

We’re getting real close to having the forward fuselage joined to the rear so first I put each cabin skin inside to check for a good fit.
\n
\nIn particular we want it to be up against the baggage compartment and still snug at the front.<\/p>\n

Here are both cabin sides attached, both fit nicely.
\n<\/p>\n

With the cabin sides checked out, time to attach them to the cabin floor.
\n
\nand from the front:
\n<\/p>\n

There are a couple more l-angles to fabricate but then we’ll be ready for our first fitting of the cabin floor to the rear fuselage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
