The F-705G's are now installed on each side of the bulkhead. I was only able to squeeze the rivets on top, and a couple on the vertical face. The rest had to be shot and bucked. The rivet callout's on the plans for these were too small at -7. I had to use -8's. There are 2 flush rivets on the longeron that sit underneath the canopy frame brackets. I had drilled and countersunk these for AN426AD3's, but it turns out these take AN426AD4-10's. I searched high and low for -10's but only had -11's. Looking at the Fuselage HW list, in the bag marked "Misc: Tip Up Hardware" is a note that these -11's are to be cut to -10's. Weird place for that note. This information should be on the plans.
