Foward fuselage fabrication

Hours: 3.4 | Posted in Forward Fuselage

Continued work on the forward fuselage today, fabricating the angle clips which attach the side skin stiffeners to the firewall, drilling said stiffeners, then fabricating and drilling the lower longerons.  These require a section of one leg of the angle to be cut away, then twisted to match the fuselage.  Several rounds of clamps, measuring, and test-and-try-again have things fitting well.  Once fit, the four bolt holes attaching the longeron to the lower firewall weldment are drilled.
