On 10/28, worked on the floor assembly. On pg 21-09, make sure you put the bulkhead cap and roller in correctly on the LEFT and RIGHT side. (they go in differently on the opposite sides.). On pg 21-10, when we assembled the control column mount asembly, we had difficuly compressing the AD4-6 rivets to a flush mount, so we had to grind down the squeezed head so they were flush.
On 10/31, we started work on the bulkhead, F1203A, and everything was straight forward. When we attempted to install F1226R, we discovered that the curved flange was manufactured incorrectly and we called Vans so they could send us a new part. (step 7, pg 21-13.)
11/2, weinstalled the control column and flipped the fuselage over on a pair of 2x4's on the sawhorses.
And on 11/7, we started installing the bottom skins.

Meade - looking forward to your continued progress - your work and this blog are very informative and appreciated - thanks again, E. D. Eliot.
Eliot, I've been really remiss in completing my posts but I'm going to try to do some catching up tonight; albeit a bit 'fractured'.
