--> RV8-List message posted by: "Vincent " <vhimsl@turbonet.com>
Where: RV-8 Fuselage center section F-804C bulkheads
Short:
Recommend one does not drill the F-804N channel cap to the F-804C
bulkheads until after mounting the F-816 cockpit rails.
Long:
When assembling the right and left control panels to the fuselage, I
assumed (yes I know..) that I should drill and cleco the channel caps
then also. Not a good idea as in order to align the F-804C flanges
properly to the F-816 cockpit rails (much later in the plans) I have to
remove the clecoes on the channel cap for proper center line alignment.
The holes in the F-804C no longer line up with the pre-punched ones in
the channel cap.
Fortunately, most of mine lined up but many on the forward side for me
did not requiring me to either make new channel caps from scratch or
drill new holes between the existing pre punched ones. Haven't decided
yet which way I will go.

Vince,
I drilled my channel caps way too soon and consequently got them spaced
wrong, which became obvious when I put the armrests and the switch panel and
the throttle quadrant in. Fortunately, mine was far enough off that I could
reposition it and re-drill it in the proper location.
