Brief Description: Replacement parts arrive, complete HS drilling
|
|
Received replacement parts HS-710, 714 and 404. Tapered 710 and 714 correctly this time, after refreshing myself from 5th grade geometry on the difference between radius and diameter. Hopefully I will learn early on that if it doesn't look right, it probably isn't, which means it is a good time to step away and come back with a fresh mind before ruining parts. At least these were cheap ones. Cut notches in 404, this time using the new band saw, which did a much better job than trying to do it with snips. I've got to learn to use all these cool new tools I have!! Completed match/finish drilling on all HS parts, then removed clecos, removed skins and disassembled skeleton. So all these impressive assemblies are now reduced back to their component parts. Brought the ribs and reinforcement bars back to the house where I deburred and washed to prepare for priming.
