Fuselage

Brake Pedals & Side Skin ( 3 hrs )

Installed Brake Master Cylinders per Step 5-6 Sect 33-04.  Skipped Step 4 to install brass elbows - wait until ready to install into Fuse and connect brake lines (kept plastic plugs installed to keep out moisture & contaminants).  Nancy's back - so we did LH and RH Fuse Side Skin rivets Step 4 Sect 30-08.  Sterling at Van's Tech Support confirmed these were OK to do out of sequence with bottom and bulkhead riveting in Steps 1-3.   Now we're ready to roll Fuse on its side for better access to remaining Steps 1-3 and 5-8 re: bottom skin / bulkheads.


back side.  These are stout brake pads.
