Hi to all of the other RV-12 builders. I am brand new too this forum as of this post. I purchased an RV-12 partially built about four weeks sgo. Wing, tailcone, and fuse kit mostly put together. Orginial owner had received the finish kit but had not started it. I am at the point of having to paint the interior of the fuse. Now to get on with my question. I have spent quite a bit of time reading ahead in the instructions. Reference page 33-03, the illustration shows that F-1229 (Baggage Floor Cover) is attached to the floor, F-1207F (Babbage Bulkhead Corrugation) would be attached vertically at the entrance to the tail cone and finally F-1206E (Baggage Cover) would be attached over F-1229 and in front of the lower flange of F1207F. The gas tank is then attached over the right portion of 1206E (that's why thre are 5 places that you dimple the holes in the right portion of 1206E). Undoubtably, we are going to have to have access to the tail cone and the fuel pump to do the annual inspection. How are we going to get access to these two areas with the gas tank covering F-1206E? I have somewhat solved the access to the fuel pump problem by placing the aft end of the F-1229 over F-1206E but that would not be according to the instructions. Still does not solve the problem of getting into the tail cone. Every year you will have to remove the gas tank to get to these two areas as it is written. Vans is aware of this via a phone call today. Maybe some of you other builders may have some ideas
