Revision 4, March 1, 2002
Fuselage Frame No. 1
Figure 7
❏
Review Drawing No. 302 and if not already done, install spruce blocking for the brake
reservoir, Christen P/N 803 oil separator, Christen P/N 802 oil valve, and Christen P/N
806-4 breather tee.
❏
If not already done, draw all of the internal structure on the outside of the fuselage frame.
You should be careful to locate the closing plywood accurately (with two small nails as
alignment pins) so that the fuselage centerline and W.L. 0 on the aft face will be the same
as on the front face.
❏
If not already done, cut the exhaust ports. Cut the front face to the correct shape shown
in the drawing. The exhaust port shield fit in at an angle so the frame should be cut to an
included angle of 107° from the front face. If it is already cut to 90°, don't worry—you can
add spruce blocks later on.
❏
Drill ventilation holes as required on the aft face.
❏
For noise suppression, insert two 2mm plywood disks in the 40Ø hole to increase the
thickness of the plywood. The bulkhead fitting which will be installed here has a
maximum grip length of 5/16” and will grip both the firewall and the plywood on the
forward face of the fuselage frame.
