When are the F-1234-L&R Canopy Decks riveted to the longerons? I expected it to be in 23-06 step 8 but there are no rivet callouts for them there. I looked forward in the plans and didn't see any other place but maybe I missed it.

Step 8

Tom,

Step 8: Rivet the
F-1270-L & -R Fuselage
Side Skins, F-1270A and
F-1270D Side Skin Doublers,
F-1255-L & -R Longerons,
F-1205A Roll Bar Attach Plates and
F-1234-L & -R Canopy Decks to the
fuselage assembly as shown in Figure 1.
See 23-09 Figure 1 for rivet locations.

Canopy decks clearly mentioned. LP4-3 rivets if I recall correctly.

Step 8

Thanks, Jim. I saw that but wasn't sure about it. I've come to understand that I should take the instructions pretty literally so I wasn't sure that "... to the fuselage assembly" included "to the longerons", especially when neither page 23-06 nor the figure on 23-09 included rivet callouts for that area. Thanks again.
