During initial assembly of tailcone, I noticed that F-1012B was not
pre-punched for the skin. The plans shows both A & B as pre-punched.
It will be very easy to match drill the bulkhead using the skin punches
and relying on the A bulkhead for alignment. But I am curious whether
others have encountered the same thing.
I also noticed a very small tear in the thin flange around the central
hole in bulkhead F-1010. It appears to have resulted from the forming
of the flange. It would seem to be subject to enlarging if the area is
stressed. Would a stop hole be called for? Or grinding the tear out?
Or a new part? I will be going to Vans with this.
