No problems today. The fuselage is getting bigger. Fabricated and attached the Crotch Strap Brackets attaching the required nutplates. Believe there is a problem here with the plans. Page 21-06 Step 2 tells you to dimple the nutplates for F-1276B, I think it should have been for F-1267A.
Attached the crotch strap brackets and moved on to cutting the hinges for the seat backs. As mentioned in many posts, cut the hinge to 20.5", and, as such it will agree with Figure 4 on Page 21-06. Doing it this way you won't be sorry!! Look at Page 21-06 Figure 4 and Page 21-07 Figure 1. Thanks for to VAF forums and the other blogs.
Continued with the assembly. No real problems. Don't forget the snap bushings.
Almost can see where the pilot and co-pilot sit!!!!!!
Time - 7 hours
