EMpennage/tailcone
Great productivity this week and weekend! I have completed up through 10-15, Step 1 and am at the point of disassembly of the tailcone. I'm holding up here while I wait for delivery of the Cleaveland angle drill kit that I just ordered to assist in match-drilling the holes for the 2 ELT mounting brackets I'm installing on either side of the tailcone behind the baggage bulkhead. The plan is to utilize the left one for the ELT, and the right one will likely be used to mount some of the hardware for the oxygen system. I'm also waiting for my pitot/static/AOA kit with static ports from Dynon so that I can drill out the holes in the side skins as called for in 10-14, Step 3. Meanwhile I will skip ahead to 10-16 and start on the battery/belcrank mount. I did hear from Van's Tech Support this week and they confirmed I could utilize the longeron with the rogue #40 hole in it so long as it was in place where edge distance requirements could be met and it wasn't too close to one of the pre-drilled rivet holes. I couldn't be any more lucky in that my rogue hole is almost perfectly centered between two rivet holes....WHEW!! Also succeeded in getting the horizontal stab hung on the wall above the garage door. I was not enjoying maneuvering around that thing on the floor. Really hitting a stride with reaching 19.3 hours of work from Sunday 2/26 through Saturday 3/4...almost hit my 20-hour weekly goal!
