I spent the morning riveting together all the stuff I primed yesterday. Here are the seats, the tunnel cover, and a seat back brace:
Here are the seat adjustment thingies riveted to the top of the F-705 bulkhead. Okay, you can't really see much, but they're there.
Here's the elevator bellcrank riveted together and being test-fitted in its home:
In the afternoon I started on the rudder pedals. Here they are, two pairs of rights and lefts. I managed to avoid the classic blunder of building one of the pedals backwards.
These took a lot of deburring, as the material is pretty thick. I still need to do some work deburring the lightening holes.
Here are the pedal weldments and bearing blocks being test fitted. I drilled the holes in the bearing blocks on the drill press, but I haven't drilled the blocks to the fuselage yet.
You may have noticed a wall clock in one of the photos above. I bought it at the hardware store today for $6.99, with the intention of putting it up in the garage. It has a plastic hook for hanging on a wall. It has markings on the face, numbered 1 through 12 inclusive. It has three different indicating hands. It has many other features – however, when a battery is inserted, it does not actually keep time. Naturally, as this is one of the primary functions of a clock, I was fairly put out.
