Fuselage : Bulkheads D & E

Pattern of"D"

Bulkhead "D" in progress

Reinforcement angle of 3/4"x3/4"x.040" (2024 T3),from "D" to "E"

Reinforcement angle in the botton skin from "C" to "D" in diagonal

More of the same

This reinforcement angle, is one of my changes

The holes are of 2" of diameter.The distance from bottom is 5" to center in the left side.In the right side is 6", but 5 1/2" is better.My flat bottom skin is .025" Alclad.This is only with zinc cromate in the joint

This is a internal view of right side of bagage compartmen.The yelow (zinc cromate) angle is maked of a plate of 1/8" 2024 T3 x 3" of long and 1" of wide ,for fix the safety belt.Between bulkhead and skin there are a flat piece of .040" to prevent dents in the skin when you pull of rivets

Left side of bagage compartment, and how I fix to side of bulkhead "C"

Frontal view

Note the internal reinforcement plates

Union of skin "C-D" to "D-E"

View showing rudder tube and elavator tube in tailboom.

I put an inspection hole in the tail bottom next to bulkhead "E" to allow me to put in bolts, instead of a rod, to hold the rear stabiliser on. It has worked well.

Top and side panels from "C" to "D"

Top panel "C" to "D" going on

From builder Lance Rademeyer in South Africa, "...notice on this Teenie's fuselage how he has rounded the skins, he says extremely difficult and it took him 3 attempts. This guy's name is Gavin Edwards; owned a Teenie which he did 500 hours in before losing a motor due to electrical problems. This Teenie that he is building is 16% wider than standard he is using the same leaf gear spring arrangement as he had on the last one he says it never gave him a moments trouble. The aircraft is way past the stage of these photos and I would guess 90% complete." Picture posted by Jack D
