After a layoff of about 3 years, I'm back to working on my RV6 TipUp.
It seems like I almost have to relearn everything I thought I knew about airplane construction. Anyway, I'm working on the canopy structure and I've got a question re: the F606. It's not like Vans to put an indent in a bulkhead without a reason but I don't see what the recess at the top of the F606 is there for. I realized it when I was drilling the F-688 to the bulkhead and didn't look closely enough when I was drilling.
A second question has to do with the F632b bracket. The plans call for a 100 deg bracket. How have people formed this bracket in the past? It's called out on page 33 of the plans, far right side of the page. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.
The pictures are a little tilted due to the rotisserie that I've built to work on the fuselage.
Thanks,
