Finished F704 bulkheads

March 11, 2014 – I rough-cut the control stick brackets on a bandsaw at work. Brought them home to clean up and paint.

On the forward bulkhead, I riveted the vertical plates and the cover brackets and stiffeners. I’ve read where some people use a c-frame to install the vertical plates. I just riveted them normally with no problems.

Moving to the aft bulkhead, I installed the control stick brackets and the vertical plates.

I still have to cut the spacers from tubing, but I can do that when I am ready to put the two bulkheads together. I was able to borrow the wood spacers from a friend at work who has a RV-6 and is building a -9.

Now on to the F705 bulkhead…
