Access From the Lower Sections of Fuselage to Cockpit Areas and Strengthening of Cockpit
Sides
In the absence of correct detail for installation of the sound module a reassessment of space
was made within the fuselage by carefully introducing some openings in the “floor” area
between the forward cockpit area and spaces immediately below.
Opening in fuselage to allow easier access of cabling and better ventilation / air flow
At the same time cooling air entry locations were examined and some alterations effected.
Dummy Exhaust Pipe
The dummy exhaust pipe was carefully removed from the model – it is held in place with
contact adhesive - the cowling and the motor had been previously removed – and the pipe
was cleared of foam – very carefully – as was the area between the inboard end of the pipe
and the internals of the aircraft.
