❏
On the forward face, install the 10x10 rectangular (or triangular) spruce strips for the
inside fuselage side walls as shown on Figure 28. See Drawing No. 315.
Note:
It is important that the inside fuselage side wall be as wide as possible at the bottom
of this frame. This strip should just touch the edge of the longeron cutout. There are
three reasons for this: the extra room is needed by the seat when it slides back, the skin
will clear the outboard seat belt mount (see Drawing No. 123), and the inside skin is easier
to install since it has less curvature.
❏
Make the two 20x20 spruce pieces that are installed on the forward face of frame No. 6,
and notch for the 30x15—and 60x15 as appropriate to the wheel well framing—seat
supports. This part can be seen on Drawing No. 315 and 123. The upper surface and the
notches should be cut to an angle of 11° from the horizontal to match the angle of the seat
supports—see Drawing No. 206. These pieces should not be installed until after the aft
wing spars are glued in place. You should, however, mark the forward face of frame No. 6
for its installation. Note from Drawing No. 123 (Section B-B) that the upper aft surface of
this part is installed at W.L. –440, the same vertical position as the 20x15 member of
frame No. 6.
❏
On the forward face of fuselage frame No. 6, install saddle gussets for the aft ends of the
20x20 spruce stringers at the bottom of the fuselage. The outer faces of each stringer is
located at B.L. 140. Because the flap actuator and torque tube support are installed on a
spruce block on the left side of the aircraft, the saddle gusset on the left side may be “open”
on the right side so as not to interfere with that block.
❏
Make a cardboard template of the forward face of frame No. 6 (below the luggage
compartment floor) as a pattern for the upholstery.
Figure 29
❏
On the aft face of the frame, install the six saddle gussets for the luggage compartment
floor supports as shown in Figure 29. The location of the floor supports is shown on
Drawing No. 315. The two inboard supports are 15x20 spruce and the four outboard
supports are 30x15 spruce.
❏
On the aft face of the frame, install 10x10 spruce gluing strips for the inside cockpit skin.
These gluing strips are installed just inboard and just above the outboard saddle gussets
installed in the previous step. The gluing strip above the gusset should begin at a point
about 10mm above the luggage compartment floor, thus making room for a 10mm strip
which will be installed fore-and-aft along the base of the inside side wall.
