Avionics

Joystick Boots ( 2 hrs )

Per Sect 42-07, positioned joystick boot material (used mini-clamps & double sided tape), then riveted w/ AACQ-4-3 blind rivets.   Next one will go much faster.  Since not provided in kit or from Flightline Interiors, last month I ordered 10 thinking I'd have a couple spares...but doooh --forgot to double my order for both LH and RH boots.   So Vans is shipping 10 more...soon.
8 flush head rivets attach alum frame to bottom.  Zipper
 in boot allows access to inside to secure to fuselage
via 3 screws into nutplates

Have to wait to finish 2nd....mis-ordered number rivets needed.
