When to dimple the holes marked in red? Answer: Page 32-5, step 3: Dimple all skins common to the F-1006 A, B & D bulkheads. In this case, it is the F-1006A bulkhead.
Hints
- Stack at floor joint from bottom to top:
- fuse skin (F-1077)
- tailcone skin (F-1078)
- bulkhead (F-1006B)
- rib tabs (e.g. F-1019-R)
- Use plastic wedges to guide the tailcone bottom skin to go above (inside) the fuselage bottom skin, e.g. at Amazon
- Use two thin strips of aluminum (3/4 inch wide) in the bottom corner sections to guide the tabs of the tailcone to go inside the fuselage skin.
- Use an inflated 20 inch truck inner tube underneath the fuselage center to lift the fuselage slightly, allowing a swivel motion within the fuselage cradle constraints e.g. at Amazon
- This is going to be the first section where you will be happy to have a creeper to get underneath the fuselage, e.g. this one at HF.
