I'm having, what I believe to be, a step alignment problem with the passenger step. I can get the side plate of the step flush with the skin of the fuselage (mostly) but the pipe isn't perpendicular with the baggage rib. I get the pipe perpendicular and the plate is at an angle and it sticks out a lot to wards the front.
Anybody else seen this?
While I'm on the subject..... There is a vertical column of rivets that are supposed to go into the F-724 rib flange. Are they suppose to be back drilled through the flange where the other rivet holes already are or am I supposed to drill all new holes based on the dimensions on the instructions?
Continuing with my confusion, the illustration in the instructions shows 5 rivet holes in that F-724 flange column and the photograph shows six. I can only work it out to line up with 4 of the holes. Are 4 holes going to be enough or will I need to make six? If I need to make six, should I space them between the already existing rivet holes?
Whew!
