[rebel-builders] Drilling FUS-11
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:12 pm
Hi David,
I had mine riveted before I put the fus on it's side to do the bottom
skins. You might want to decide how you will fit the door hinge before you
rivet though. I will install my door hinge on the aft face of the door
post. Are you aware that one of the "Ontario mods" kicks in here? It is
recommended to have two rows of rivets down the door post with the rows
staggered and the rivets 1" on centers. You can put one row down the middle
and one row halfway between that and the front of the door post. Or as I
have done - 1/3 & 2/3 across the door post.
The double row of rivets goes between the top and bottom door sills
across fus-11 and fus-9. Between the top sill and the wing attach are 5
3/16 rivets in one row. Below the bottom sill is also one row and I'm
pretty sure those should also be 3/16 - I haven't fitted my front lower
corner wraps yet.

Hello out there;
I'm about to finish the forward section ahead of the door post and I
didn't
see where it says to drill the Fus-11 side panels to the door post? Maybe
I
missed it? I have gone through the cd of the manual and did a search for
fus-11, and still don't see where I drill it.
I will be turning the fuselage over to drill the bottom skins, and
I would
think that there should be more than two clecos on each side holding that
together! Also should that be on 1" spacing or 1 1/4" spacing?
Thanks for any help!
