F10 Aft Lower Cabin Details.
I removed cut marks from the edges using files from the kit supplied parts:
F10-25 Gusset Spacers and
F10-24 Gussets.
For F10-22 Idler Plate I removed cut marks from the sides using files. I also up drilled the pilot holes to their final sizes of 1/4" and 3/16".
Using the band saw I cut F10-20 Spacer. I usde files to remove cut marks from the edges.
I then clamed F10-19 attach angle to the spacer and match drilled the holes to #13 using the holes in the angle for location.
F10-17 Idler Support Assembly.
I clamped F10-18R & L Pivot Angle together with the F10-20 Spacer and F10-19 Attach Angle in between. I used a drill bit to hel align the holes. I up drilled the holes untill I was able to insert the two AN3-7A bolts. I also had to round the one edges of the Right Hand Pivot Angle to allow it to rest in the radius of the Attach Angle.

F10-16 Idler Assembly -
I used the arbor press to press the bushings into the F10-18 Pivot Angles. I put the assembly together without the Idler Plate. I line drilled a 5/16th reamer through the bushing. I put in the Idler Plate with the pivot bushings. It was too tight so I added some shims at the spacer to get a proper spacing and movement of the Idler.
F10-14 and F10-15 Gussets.
These are kit supplied parts. All Ineeded to do was clean the edges and debur the holes.
F10-13 R&L Seat Belt Attach Channel.
I used the band saw to cut the length corner notches and end flange. I used files and the scotch brite wheel to get the final size and shape. I used oak blocks and a clamp to bend the end flange to 90 degrees. I still need to layout and drill the pilot holes.
F10-12 Center Support Channel.
I used the band saw to cut to a rough length. I used the scotch brite wheel to trim to final length.

F10-13 R&L Seat Belt Attach Angles.
I located and drilled the pilot holes to #40 size.
F10-08 and F10-11 Clips.
I used some left over Z03-02 .032 Channel to make these clips. I used the band saw to cut the rough dimensions. I then used the scotch brite wheel to finish to the final sizes. I marked and drilled the required pilot holes to the #40 size.
F10-10 R&L Support Channels.
I used the hack saw to cut the rough length of the Z02-04 Channel Stock. I used the band saw and files to cut out the required notches. I used the scotch brite wheel to finish to final dimensions. I marked and drilled the pilot holes to #40 size.
F10-09 R&L Support Channel Assemblies.
I clamped the F10-11 Clips to the F10-10 Channels and drilled and up drilled the required holes. I deburred and cleaned the parts. Then I revited the clips to the channels to complete the assemblies.

F10-07 R&L Idler Attach Brackets.
I used the band saw to cut these from some left over Z03-02 .032 Channel. I used the scotch brite wheel to clean the edges. I then drilled the required #40 pilot holes. I used the hack saw to cut to length. I measured and drilled the required #40 pilot holes. I also used the band saw to remove the two center lugs.
F10-02 Cap Assembly.
I clamped the Seat Attach Hinge and the F10-03 Angle to the table. I drilled and updrilled the holes to #30 for the rivets. I deburred all the holes. The plans call for CCP-42 rivets but that is based on the F10-03 angle being made from .032 angle. The F10-03 Angle is now provided in the kit as 1/8th angle. So I decided to up size the rivets to CCP-44. I then installed all the rivets holding the hinge to the angle using CCP-44 rivets.
F10-01 Angle.
I used a hack saw to cut Z04-03 Channel Stock to the required length. I then used the band saw to remove one of the flanges and cut the two corner notches.

F10-01 Angle.
I used files to make the radius in the corners of the notches. I located, drilled and deburred the pilot holes on the ends. I used step drills and files to make the cut out for the control rod path. I then used the hand seamer to make the 4 degree bends on each end.

F09-02 Seat Belt Attach Assembly.
I located, pilot drilled, up drilled, deburred and riveted
F10-08 Clips,
F10-05 R&L Seat Belt Attach Brackets, and
F10-06 Hook Mount
to the F10-01 Angle.

I also located, pilot drilled, up drilled and deburred F10-07 R&L Idler Attach Brack to the F10-01 Angle. I did not rivet them at this time.

I also installed temp bolts to hold the upper longerons and splice plates until I flip the fuselage and install the MS24694-S54 Screws.

F09-01 Aft Lower Cabin Detail Installation.
I located, Pilot Drilled and Clecoed:
F09-02 Seat Bet Attach Assembly,
F10-24 Gusset Plate with F10-25 Gusset Spacer,
F10-02 Cap Assembly, and
F10-09 R&L Support Channels.

For F09-02 Seat Belt Attach Assembly and F10-09 Support Channels I used a line drawn on the flange to line up with the holes in the lower skin.

I also clamped the F10-02 Cap Assembly to the F09-02 Seat Belt Assembly to be sure that there was a constant height from the lower skin.

F09-01 Aft Lower Cabin Detail Installation.
I located, Pilot Drilled and Clecoed:
F10-12 Center Support Channel,
F10-13 R&L Seat Belt Attach Channels,
F10-14 and F10-15 Gussets, and
F10-16 Idler Assembly.

I also up drilled all the holes in the lower skin for this installation.

F09-01 Aft Lower Cabin Detail Installation.
I up drilled the holes for the Idler Assembly. I deburred all the holes on the Idler Assembly and the F10-07 Brackets. I riveted the F10-07 Brackets to the Idler Assembly. To do the riveting I had to loosen the bolts and slide the two halves a part. I then had to file the tails on the rivets until the was clearence between the rivet tails. I then tightened the bolts and torqued them. I repositioned the assembly to be sure it would fit properly and it did.
Next I started up drilling the holes to the #30 size.

F09-01 Aft Lower Cabin Detail Installation.
I finished up drilling all the holes to their proper size.
I also started deburring all the holes and parts.

F09-01 Aft Lower Cabin Detail Installation.
I finished deburring all the holes and parts. I clecoed all the part together out side of the fuselage. I then check to see if it went back in place and lined up with all the holes etc. It did. So then I installed all the rivets out side of the fuselage. It was a lot easier than it would have been with every thing back in place.
I clecoed the partial assembly back in place. I then riveted the lower skin to the assembly. I then riveted the places on the inside of the assembly.
My friend Robert came over and help Laurie and me turn the fuselage right side up.
