F-704K When to install

[Simon Hitchen]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering when to install the 704K's side bulkhead covers into the Fuselage. These are the vertical pieces that cover the ends of the main spars in the fuse and the vertical part of the associated 704 bulkhead on the cabin sides. They are just blind riveted on and I can see no reason not to install them now (getting ready to paint the interior) and can find no mention of them in the instructions.

Just wanted to check that im not missing something that may make life difficult later.

Thanx.

are you finished your wiring

Some people mount post lights in these. Also useful if they are off to help with running wires down the top longeron. Easy enough to do later, although after the panel is in, it is harder to pull some of the top forward rivets
