❏
Clamp the gluing strip in place on the aft face of frame No. 6 and trace its outline on
frame No. 6. See Figure 30. The strip should not be installed until it is sanded to the
angle required for the fuselage skin. This gluing strip, shown on Drawing No. 311, is for
the aft fuselage skin and to carry the extra loads required by the outboard seat belt mounts.
At this time, you may continue with the work on the fuselage frames by doing the work in
Chapter 25 “Fuselage, Preliminary Assembly”.
Control Stick Assembly
❏
Cut off the top of the control sticks to match the rubber grips supplied. See Figure 31.
The bottom of the rubber grips should be at the top of the bend. (At the time that the
control sticks were designed, we had not yet selected the grips, therefore the extra length.)
Do not install the rubber grips on the sticks at this time since they must be loose at the
time that the microphone push-to-talk wiring is installed, and the grips are very difficult to
remove once installed.

Drill 5/16ӯ holes in the bottom forward face of the control sticks and install the
MS35489-4 grommets for the wiring in these holes. These grommets are supplied as part
of the electrical kit. See Figure 31.
