F15-05 Rudder Pedal Support Angle.
I cut the rough size from .063 sheet stock using the band saw. I then used the bending brake to bend the 90 degree. I used the band saw, scotch brite wheel and the belt sander to finish to proper size and shape. I then used the drill press to drill the #40 pilot holes.
F15-08 Spacer Plates.
I used the band saw to cut the 2" lengths of 1/2" x 1/8th" bar stock. I finished and smoothed the edges using the scotch brite wheel.
F15-15 Flap Drive Pivot Block Assembly.
I used the band saw to cut the phenolic blocks. Since I am going to install the flap handle in the middle (SNX-C08) I need one more set than this plan calls out. So I cut a total of six (3 pairs).
F15-03 Left and Right Hand Rudder Pedal Mount Assemblies.
I clamped F15-04 Left and Right Hand Rudder Pedal Mount Angles to the table with a 1/8th" spacer between it and the table. This put the side of the angles 3/8th" above the table. This is the proper distance that the F15-05 support angle needs to be offset. So that way I was able to place the support angle on the table and then clamp it to the mount angle in the proper position. I then drilled and up drilled the holes in the support ange using the mount agle as a guide.

F15-03 Left and Right Hand Rudder Pedal Mount Assemblies.
I countersank the #30 holes on the F15-04 mount angles per the plans. I dueburred all holes and edges. Cleaned off all ink marks. I then riveted the F15-05 angles and F15-04 mount angles together using the CCC-44 rivets called out in the plans.
Various Kit Supplied Parts.
F15-06, F15-09, F15-10, F15-11 and F15-14 were provided as part of the kit as cut to shape and with pilot holes drilled. However they needed to be deburred and cut marks on edges removed. I deburred all the holes and edges. I also polished all the edges to remove all the cut marks.

F14-06 Left and Right Hand Lower Firewall Attach Angles.
I used the band saw to cut the Z02-03 Angle stock to the shape and size. I polished the edges with the scotch brite wheel. I used the hand seamer to open the angle to the required 94 degrees.
F14-05 Left and Right Hand Upper Firewall Attach Angles.
I used the band saw to cut the Z02-03 Angle stock to the shape and size. I polished the edges with the scotch brite wheel. I used the hand seamer to open the angle to the required 94 degrees.
F14-04 Left and Right Hand Firewall Attach Angles.
I used the band saw to cut the Z02-03 Angle stock to the shape and size. I polished the edges with the scotch brite wheel. I used the yard stick hinge template to drill the equally spaced 18 holes. I then located the two end holes and drilled them per the plans.
F14-03 Left and Right Hand Cowlling Attach Hinge.
I cut the hinge to the proper length. I used the band saw to cut the shape and to cut off the two lower lugs. I then used the scotch brite wheel to polish the edges.

F14-01 Left and Right Hand Forward Angle Assemblies.
I clamped F14-04 Firewall Attach Ange, F14-03 Cowlling Attach Hinge and F14-02 Forward Angle together arrange per the plans instructions. I drilled and clecoed pilot holes at each end and in the middle. I then clecoed the assembly to the table and drilled the remaining pilot holes. I removed the assembly from the table and clecoed it together.

I deburred the pilot holes and polished the edges to remove the cutting marks.
F13-04 Longeron doublers.
I polished the edges to remove the cutting marks.
F13-05 Canopy Latch Strike Plates.
I used the band saw to cut the phenolic to the size and shape per the plans. I used a router table to make the radius on the one edge. I used the drill press to drill the 1/8" pilot holes.
F13-02 Upper Forward Longeron
I then clamped the plates to the longeron lined up with the slots per the plans. I then used used a #30 drill to drill out as much of the corresponding phenolic that I could. I then used a hand copping saw to remove the material between the holes. I then used files to shape and smooth the phenolic to match the slots in the longeron. Next I drilled the 1/8" holes from the phenolic through the longeron. I up drilled these to the 3/16th for the bolts. I clamped the F13-04 doublers to their location per the plans. I drilled the pilot holes, #30 holes and counter sink for the requiered rivets.
Upper Firewall Filler Box. I received the last Southco receptacle. I riveted it in place.

I cleaned off the manufactures ink markings on the F13-01 Forward Fuselage Side Skin. I laid the skin flat on the work table. I clamped the F13-02R Right Hand Upper Longeron to the table in position over the side skin. I then drilled #40 pilot holes using the holes in the longeron as a guide. I also made sure to maintain a distance of 22" from the bottom of the skin and the top of the longeron.
