PAGE 32-09

May 16, we skipped this page 32-09 since we don't have the wings on-site, but we did install the "thousand legs" (MS21266-1N) as George calls them around the flaperon torque tube. We skipped over to page 32-11 and hooked up the rudder cables to the rudder pedals. We used glue to put the washers on the pedals and made life a whole life simpler. We made the rudder pedal rigging stop but had to make some allowances for the steps that were already installed. My biggest struggle was putting the !@#$# cotter pins up under that 'dashboard'...
PAGE 32-12 no problems here either, again using the glue on the washers. We skipped to the gas tank construction and did a dry run, since George wanted to visualize how the thing went together. Today we worked about 6 hours, again. We'll probably pick up again on Wednesday. I'm including a photo of George in one of his usual positions and another of the rudder stop box.
