I finished riveting the forward part of the main bulkhead. Here is a picture with the aft part.



On the aft part I have four more rivets to install, unfortunately those that are with the kit are too short. I'll have some longer ones delivered shortly.

Today, I begun assembling the main bulkhead. I first assemble the control column supports and the control column.
I needed too long a time to find out how to arrange the washers to have free play of the controls.
Once all was solved, I couldn't resist putting my wooden grips on the sticks.



Then I decided to apply the latest Service Bulletin from Vans. The right seat stick has to bolted permanently on rather than being left removable. It's only a hole to drill, a bolt, a washer and nut to install.



The I riveted the aft part of the bulkhead, to align everything I use the spar bolts.

Again some work on the main bulkhead. First I primed the countersunk holes, then I riveted the nutplates and installed the bushings. Then, two sapcers have to be fabricated from aluminium tubing. I always cut them a bit long, then get them to the correct length by using the drill press and some abrasive paper.



Then I tried to install the control columns. I have some problems figuring out how all will have to work, it looks like the aileron bellcrank, but I think I'll have to adjust the parts to get it work correctly.
