Sorry to hear about your job loss. Regarding the dwg. 7F-10 and no rivet zone. On each side of the front fuselage, you will need to rivet the front side skin (7F-14-3) under the floor. On page 7-F-14, you will notice a "Z" where the side skin attaches to the floor. (Section A-A) mid left on page. On my drawing the length is 510 mm. Hope this helps. Good luck in finding another job, and hurry. It make building more fun.

Mine are around 40. My kit is from factory and the last forward rivets end in the 7F9-4 central upright.(approx. 155 mm from the forward edge), and the last three are around 35 mm spaced. Looks like the most forward rivets between 7F9-4 and 7F9-5, are missing??(two or three rivets). I just didnt notice it until now. Hope this helps.

On drawing 7f9 it shows the Corner Angle 7f9-9sp, riveted to the bottom surface of the cabin side with a pitch 40. It does'nt specify a rivet pitch for the side surface, except pitch 30, between those two vertical "L". I have noticed on Zenith assembled cabin sides that the other ones do have a larger rivet spacing. I'm assuming the others are pitch 40. Can anyone confirm this?

I am quite handy with the front paws, also have a straight eye, do you think the build time of 400 hrs is realistic? 'Escuse me for asking, if this sound stupid, but I live on the other side of the world, parts are a bit scarce here. Please other 701 builders, advise! Thanks, Dirk in Africa.
