Ch. 6 - Fuselage assembly - Part 4


Taping the front seat (3.3 hrs)  

Today the front seat was taped to the left sidewall, and the rear seat was floxed in place.


Flox in sandwich bag, ready for dispensing

Initial flox application. Tongue depressor was later used to smooth and radius the corner

BID tape being prepped

Bid tape ready

BID tape in place, with back plastic being removed.

Peel-ply added to edges of BID tape

Flox added to the rear seat/gear buildup juncture, and rear seat screwed back in place 

Clamps added to even the pressure on the seat edges, while the flox cure


Overall, today’s tasks were pretty simple. With these two bulkheads locked in place, the fuselage should finally stop squirming around on me every time I touch it, and working on the remaining ones will be less stressful.
