Guys  

   

Now that I finished the -10 tail cone assembly, I have a couple of questions for those of you who used a QB fuselage:  

   

<![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Did you totally overlook chapters 25 to 31 of the building manual? Or is it necessary to check if our Filipino colleagues missed anything from those chapters?  

   

<![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>On my QB fuselage, the foot steps are not installed and there is a steel tube in the steps holes, which goes from side to side through the entire fuselage width, with holes on the tips which served to anchor the “canoe” to the wooden transportation box. Being the baggage floor already riveted, how did you dismount that provisional tube, and how did you mount the 2 steps? (There are bolts and nuts to be unscrewed and screwed again under the baggage floor…)  

   

I have one more question about the fuselage interior, which is common for those who used the QB fuse and for those who didn’t:  

   

<![if !supportLists]>-          <![endif]>Is it necessary to paint the aluminium sheets of the cockpit interior, or the upholstery will cover it entirely?  

   

Waiting for your answers  

Best regards  

Carlos

Unfortunately you need to check each and every step. You will find some 

things not done. In some cases the plans suggest differences with quick 

build, but it is easier to just check everything. Yes the pipe has to 

come out. The floor should only have a limited number of pop rivets, 

that you get to drill out. You need the baggage floor out just to run 

wires, conduit, etc. You also will want to make access panels for the 

step bolts.

Carlos,



in theorie in all sections you have a note what steps the QB has to do 

compared to all which have to be done on the "self build" but in real 

you need to check each and every step as some were omitted or even 

forgotten (check the crossbar behind the rear seats how many rivets are 

missing). The baggage floor was only riveted with a few pull rivets so 

you need to drill them out to work below.



Gordon had a list which I could follow pretty much as our QB were about 

done at the same time.



Good luck see you in Old Warden in a month time?



Cheers Werner

Previous replies have answered your questions, except the easy one:



Interior is entirely up to you. Some fly with bare walls, aluminum visible and unpainted. Some paint it. Some cover it with fabric or carpet. Some prime, install sound insulation, cover with upholstery. Your choice.



As the others said, go thru the manual step by step. You'll find some things not done. Also inspect it carefully. I found a stray bolt that I thought might require removing the landing gear mount to get it out, but fortunately I was able to get it with a magnet!

I have one more question about the               fuselage interior, which is common               for those who used the QB fuse and for those who didn’t:         

          

-                            Is it necessary to             paint the aluminium sheets of the cockpit interior, or the             upholstery will             cover it entirely?         

       

       

     	
     Depends on your interior.

     

     I went with Abbey's Flight Line interior.   As part of their full     interior with carpeting and side panels, they provide a drawing of     what painting is required to fill-in around what they provide.  The     painting was minimal and was done after construction was completed.

     

     I've heard that they may no longer do carpet (?).  If so, the story     may be different.

     

     BTW, I love my interior and so does my co-pilot.  Clearly a simple     painting of the interior panels along with seat covers (Vans style)      would produce a very serviceable and light weight interior too.      Depends on your desires.

The answer depends on how you want to finish your interior.  

I installed Aerosport Products interior panels and headliner.  I recommend them highly. With them there is very little aluminum and fiberglass exposed. 

There are many that do their own interiors, so then it would depend on what you design. 

My recommendation would be to review  vendor and other builder web sites to determine what your taste and budget will allow.
