Work continued on the empennage kit. A
mix of teams Red and Green began assembling the framework of the tail
cone, riveting the stiffeners, bottom skins, and frames together.
A couple of students were given the
task of preparing the bulkhead assembly, which will reside in the
rear of the tail cone structure. This piece required much effort,
involving many different types of fasteners and sub-assemblies.
As always, more work progressed within
the fuselage. Team Purple continued with some more flight control
installation, specifically the flaperon lever and pushrod assemblies.
Both seat backs were also constructed, and placed aside for future
installation.
With the flaperons installed onto the
right wing assembly, both wings are ready for the following step of
construction: attaching to the fuselage, the main task for next
week's session. Stay tuned.
