F601-Z Doubler
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 8:02 pm
Its been a while, but hey, I'm back here in the chronicles section ....
I read the plans 20 times, made notes to make sure that I didn't mess up the F601-Z doubler and I did it anyway. *sigh* So basically what I did was to only apply the "flush head on aft side" note to the nut plates to which the fuel pump will attach. That is to say the 4 rivets that hold the nut plates on have their flush heads aft side, the rest have their flush heads forward side.
According to the fuel pump drawings found later in the plans it looks as if I might be O.K. because the pump does not touch the doubler where the other rivets are. Can anyone who has that pump mounted confirm or deny this? I'd appreciate any insight you can give.
