Fitting fuselage parts
Hours: 2.3 | Posted in Upper Fuse & SkinsNow that the fuselage is upright, there is a myriad of small parts to be attached. Today, I finished drilling the aft deck to the longerons. I also fit the gussets behind the seats, which needed holes cut in them for the canopy latches to drop through. This also involved clecoing on the canopy decks, though I am sure they’ll end up coming off and on a couple more times. Finally, I fabricated the two spacers that fit under the aft deck, clamped them in place, and began drilling them in place.
