Fuselage

Rudder Pedal Bearing Block  ( 2 hrs )

While Fuselage is on it's side, decided to jump ahead and work on items easier installed in that orientation.  Much easier to work on center support Rudder Pedal Bearing Block F-6115 per Sec 33-05 and -06.   Drilled #12 locator holes while clamped to support, then enlarged in drill press to #10 holes.   Then split apart via bandsaw.   Assembled loosely for now.   Located in furthest forward position for best leg room (1 of 3 positions).


[Note:  discovered Van's didn't provide Bearing Block Template for LH and RH Blocks, so emailed request to expedite. Seems packing list/inventory is inaccurate for QB's.   They're now 2 for 3 in missing templates needed]
