I didn't get much done this last weekend. My motivation has gone down as the leaves & temperature dropped. It gets cold out in the garage and the leaves had to be cleaned up.
I have a four day holiday starting Thursday and I hope to make some progress on the firewall. The firewall is a key component in completion of the forward fuselage. (Lots of parts to test fit.
BLARG#$?!)
 |
| Drilling out the #40 to #30 size holes in firewall angles and doublers. Getting ready for riveting exercises to commence. |
 |
| "Test" fitting the firewall to forward fuselage components. |
|
| Another section of the forward fuselage is the floor and support structure. (240.380 & 01 Left & Right forward floor support brackets.) The engine mount brackets (240.3110) connect the structure to the firewall & Dynafocal engine mount (200.0010). |
 |
| Floor structure and floor clamped on bench for test fitting. |
Drilling rivet holes in the internal structure pieces may require a 90 degree right angle drill and some longer aviation drill bits. Oh well, another tool purchase coming. I'll have to wait until after the first of the year.
I wish everyone well and a Happy Thanksgiving!
Brian
