Gussets and lower longerons
Hours: 2.5 | Posted in Forward FuselageFabricated the lower firewall-to-longeron gussets, which are made from a pre-cut piece, but have a series of holes which must be drilled, a relief cut, and two bends made. Clamped and drilled these in position, then drilled the lower longerons to the gusset, firewall weldment, and side skin. Need to read ahead and see whether the #40 holes at the aft end of the longeron (in the gear tower area) are drilled for their final fasteners now, or if they’re just drilled to #40 for the time being.
While I did that, Allison took on an art project and traced two copies of the gear leg cutout template.
