Page 21-04 21-05 Completed
Now working on the seat ribs, on which I will sit, one day. Lots of small parts to put together:
On page 21-05, step 11 surprise!
As I have the autopilot option, I have to interrupt and branch to section 39
Section 39 page 02:
F-1269 is part of the Autopilot bracket, it has to be riveted to the rib as indicated above.
However there is a problem:
The screw identified as AN525-10R10 showing in yellow on the picture, cannot be installed because of the nutplate installed in the previous step. I had to drill one rivet of the nutplate and rotate it to allow the screw head to pass. You can avoid this trouble by waiting until Page 32-02 to rivet the nutplate. If you don't, drilling the rivet is not a big deal but why undo what you just did? IMHO. VAN should make the change in their instructions.
