\"IMGP4349\"<\/a>One of the big challenges with this build is the logistics necessary due to the space contraints of using the bonus room as a shop.\u00a0 Some folks have the luxury of\u00a0 setting up their dunk tank and leaving in place until the next use.\u00a0 I have to setup and breakdown after every operation.\u00a0 As a result, batching as many parts together as possible is highly desirable, even if this requires jumping through steps not in sequence as outlined in the plans.<\/p>\n

The elevator tip ribs were the first to be fitted together. These were then match drill as indicated in the plans.<\/p>\n

\"IMGP4356\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u00a0are 16 pairs of internal ribs between the front and rear elevator spars.\u00a0 Fitting and drilling these was the next order of business.<\/p>\n

\"IMGP4357\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keeping track of each rib location will be tricky, as there are so many which look exactly alike.\u00a0 A recent “Mistake Proofing” course from ASQ recommends parts configured for assembly in only one way – certainly not true here. I eventually used\u00a0floral wire and tags to identify positions 1-8 on the left side, A-H on the right side.\u00a0 This scheme was retained through priming, where I finally labeled each part with a Sharpie.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP4360\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A 5\/8″ Unibit in the drill press created the proper diameter for the elevator cable grommets.\u00a0 Once the holes are drilled in the appropriate locations, the previously identical spars now only work one way.\u00a0 This fits the “mistake proofing”\u00a0model and allowed subsequent operations without special markings or handling procedures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP4364\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Left side spars and ribs are clecoed to the bottom skins ready for match drilling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP4366\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cable Anchor Attachment Brackets are measured for alignment prior to drilling for rivet holes. The nuts\/plates welded together\u00a0appear to be steel.\u00a0 These will be primed with SEM self-etching primer before assembly with the aluminum alloy backing plates.<\/p>\n
