 Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 8:30 pm Post subject: When Can I rivet 701 Front to Rear Fuse? |
 |
|
I have completed jigging the front to rear fuselage on my 701. I have ordered the "new" firewall forward kit from ZAC but they say it won't ship until sometime in September. Therefore I can't bolt the cabin frame to the firewall.
I plan to move on to the next step that would follow section 11 (instrument plane) as I don't want to attach anything to the firewall until I have the engine mounts bolted to it.
My question is this: is it OK to go ahead and rivet up the front to rear fuselage at this point? The assembly guide shows clecos still in the fuselage while they put together the front sides and instrument panel. But I would like to rivet up the fuse and go on to the controls and main gear.
Does anyone see any problem with this?

Doug,
If I remember correctly, the plans state that you can connect everything, but don't drill the two holes in the firewall where the upper arm on the motor mount will attach until you have the mount on the firewall. I think this is stated in the photo guide.
If I remember correctly, there are three different degrees of angle that you will be working with.
Good Luck,
