CH-640 Fuselage Hull - Stage One - Part Two (55 of 198)




Rivet the under instrument panel at the front to the front horizontal panel.  DO NOT RIVET THE INSTRUMENT PANEL at this time.  I guess you could rivet the instrument panel, but it will be easier to be able to remove it when you cut your instrument holes.  I am not going to use this as my instrument panel.  Instead I am going to cut LARGE openings in this part and then install rivnuts around it and create an instrument panel that will then screw to this panel.  By doing this I will be able to remove my instrument panel any time I want to work on it just by removing a few screws.  This was a leason learned from my CH-300.
