Verification of Previous Build (Part 3) 8.27.2020

 Welcome back to Part 3 of 526EJ's build verification. 


    38. Install seat hardpoints. They are there and the holes for bolts have been drilled.

 

    39. Use Velocipoxy and micro to fair in back of windows. Done. I think this is actually a fastbuild item.

    40. Construct sump tank. This is already installed in the back of the fuselage so we also verified step 114. Install sump tank. We found that the sump tank install was missing bolts. We fixed this by drilling holes and adding the second bolts that are specified in the build manual.

    41. Glass side of canard bulkhead opposite of the flange. We checked measurements on the fiberglass pieces that were cut. They're there and correct.

    42. Install sequence valve assembly. Verified. Will check that it works when we lift the gear.

    43. Install dump valve. Verified. Will check that it works when we lift gear.

    44. (Verified yesterday)

    45. Install hydraulic power pack. (This is a repeat on the flowchart. Was verified yesterday)

    46. Install hard lines for RG system. Verified that they are there.

    47.  Install Center Spar. These are photos from Erik Stabell's install. Erik had the main spar installed with help from the factory. One of the photos includes Scott Swing of Velocity Aircraft.


Spar structurally adhered to the firewall prior to fiberglass

Scott Swing on left, Erik on right - circa 2006/7?

    48.

    49 - 51 are all fixed gear

This is where we stopped for the night.
