Short Description: GAP26 Pitot hole cut Bottom skin nutplate attach a
|
I finished priming the bottom skins even though I am far from riveting lower skins in place. I was going to start fuse kit but due to Van's laser cut part issue I have been in a holding pattern until they advise what to do. I confirmed I have a bunch of laser cut parts for fuse so I will wait until they advise further. Hopefully they will let us know soon (fingers crossed).
So I cut the extra access panel hole in the OB skins for the ER tanks. I also match drilled and cut out the GAP 26 Garmin hole in the skin. I did not dimple skins yet for the Pitot/AOA but the hard part is done. Was kind of a PITA but Im glad its done.
Nutplates are riveted on the skins for the 4 access panels
