JIGGING OF THE FUSELAGE
..... In this step, you will want to trim for final fitting the following bulkheads: FS175, FS120, FS94, Seatback Bulkhead, and Firewall. All bulkheads, includ ing the firewall, fit inside the shells, so that they rest against the inside skin of the shells. Begin by drawing BLOO down the bottom fuselage shells, forward and rear. Check the squareness of the lower forward fuselage shell where the firewall is located. It may be necessary to trim the forward edge of the lower forward fuselage shell to make the firewall set square. (i.e. perpendicular to BLOO and WL15). For now, you may assume that a level placed across the longitudinal split line at the firewall attachment point is correct for leveling the fuselage laterally. Don't forget that the firewall fits inside the shell. The FS120 bulkhead location is nominally at FS120 for the forward face, but is uncritical and can be moved plus or minus 1 inch for best fit. The FS94 bu1khead should not be trimmed until after the Seatback Bulkhead. The FS175 bulkhead aft face is located at FS175. .....The location and angle of the seatback bulkhead is the prime consider_tion for comfortably accommodating different pilot sizes. If the primary pilot is over 616" tall or less than 5'5" tall, then Quickie Aircraft Corporation should be contacted for assistance in creating a comfortable fit. Basically, moving the break Doint in the Seatb_ck Bulkhead lower allows the   |
