Don't rivet till you have to! This is advice someone gave me early in the construction
phase. Boy has that advice paid off. Let me give some of you new folks
some examples.
This really didn't come into play until I started working on the fuselage. Here
are a few examples:
Firewall: don't rivet it to the fuselage until you have your Fire Wall Forward
kit. I was able to easily and accurately drill several holes and install nutplates
instead of fooling around with screws (bolts) and washers and nuts. This
will make maintenance much easier in the future.
F-721B Aft canopy deck: (Slider) Don't rivet this to the longerons until after
you've fit the C-657 canopy roller track. You can easily install nutplates for
several of the screws while it is removable. Once it's riveted it would be
impossible to install these nutplates. Putting the nuts on these screws could
give you a real bad headache.
F-7112 and F-775 aft and rear top skins: Installing the empennage fairing requires
nutplates in the rear top skin. Plus several rivets must be removed for this
attachment. Easier to do this by removing a few clecos, rather than crawling
into the fear of the fuselage. (For sliders) Also, the canopy slide rail
is easier to install and remove if nutplates are used to join this to the top
skins, rather than screws and nuts.
I hope this helps someone!

Anyone out there have an old (cheap) hand squeezer not being used anymore, that
has maybe been ground down, or whatever, to get into those occasional tight spots,
for sale? If so, please contact me off list. Thanks, Glenn in AZ. -9A

Has anybody on this list compared the seats from Becky Orndorff with
those from D.J. Lauritsen (Cleaveland). The Lauritsen seats cost a bit
more but do they look better?

I'm about ready to drill the rudder pedal bearing blocks to the brace and the stiffners.
I'm 6'1" and would really appreciate it if others who've got their 9's flying could
make some suggestions for hole positions.
Thanks guys.

Yes. I am extremely pleased with mine from DJ, and so is my picky wife. DJ will
also alter them anytime after you try them out at no charge. I can send photos
of mine if you would like. There is a layer of Conforfoam in the bottom
cushion, stick boots, arm rests, and a mid booster that goes between the bottom
cushion and the base wedge. They are all upholstered with great workmanship,
and have velcro to hold everything in place. The back cushions have a flap
that velcros to the seatback at the top to hold them in nicely.
I can send pictures off list if you like.

Rob....I am 6 ft, and I have them as far forward as the drawings recommend.......was
it 3 1/2 inches from the firewall? I made 4 sets of holes so they can be
moved later if someone else becomes captain. It would be easy to make new links
for the cables and move the pedals.
Mine is a -9A
