My RV-8 build


Date: 3-22-2013
Number of Hours: 2.00
Manual Reference: Page 8-26
Brief Description: Upper longeron and skin drilling #3

Clamped the F-801C-1 upper angles to the longeron and the WD-802-L/R-1 upper engine mount brackets. Using the drilling cup, I made sure the #30 was square with the top of the web and drilled my first hole and clecoed. Moved to the other end and repeated the same process and then started drilling and clecoing as I moved along the mount.

Boelube and a drill cup...MUST have!

Right side done. Will need some touch up priming due to the clamps
