Welcome! This blog details the construction of my RV-12 (and other projects) E-LSA aircraft kitted by Van's Aircraft. This entry is the 6th part of building the fuselage kit. I have to apologize for some of the blurry pictures. I was attempting not to use the camera flash as much.
Step 1 Separate the two sets of F-1230E Bulkhead Doublers by removing the hatched areas shown in Figure 1 of the RV-12 plans on page 21-11.
Where possible, install rivets in the F-1203A Bulkhead with the manufactured heads on the forward side.
Step 2: Rivet the F-1203E-L &-R Bulkhead Doublers to both ends of the F-1203A Bulkhead, to the F-1203C Sub Spar Receptacles, and Sub Spar Receptacle Supports using the rivets called out in Figure 2 on page 21-11 of the RV-12 plans. As indicated in the figure, do not install rivets in the four holes in both sets of bulkhead doublers, or the eight holes in the spar receptacles support outbd of the doublers.
Step 3: Rivet the flange of the F-1203E-L & -R Bulkhead Doublers to each other using the rivets called out in Figure 2.
Step 4: Rivet the Control Column Mount Assemblies (and their associated one-leg nutplates) to the Bulkhead using the rivets called out. No not rivet the two bottom holes in both assemblies
Step 5: Rivet the four nutplates t the sloped flanges of both Control Column Mount Assemblies using the rivets called out.
This completes page 21-11.

Step 1: Separate the F-1203J Bulkhead Doubler by removing the hatched areas.
Step 2: Rivet the 17 nutplates shown in Figure 2 on page 21-12 of the RV-12 plans, to the Bulkhead using the rivets called out. DO NOT install a nutplate at either end of the top row of nutplates I'm pointing to one of these in the picture below.
Step 3: Rivet the F-1203J Bulkhead Doublers to the Bulkhead using the rivets called out in Figure 2.
This completes page 21-12 of the RV-12. Thanks for looking.
