Brief Description: Fuselage FWD and Mid pre-fit assembly
|
|
So far in the project, I had resisted temptation to "play with" my parts and build the entire fuselage on cleco just for fun. I felt it was more important to follow instruction and assembly sequence. Since I moved my shop to the Old Ford Dealership, I have more frequent visit from my Dad and my uncle. They kept asking questions like "What's this? Where does it goes? I don't understand, please show me!" Therefore, under "peer pressure", I started building the fuselage on clecos from Firewall to bulkhead 7 (FWD and MID Fuse sections).
I did that over the period of about 2 days. I am clocking 4.0 hours to the project for that because in the end, it turn out to be a good investment in time. It allowed me to visualize in "Real 3D" how the fuselage is put together. It also ended up the never ending questions from my Dad !...
On the 16, I had Yohan Valin, a former high school buddy and his 18 years old son Xavier come check out my project. Xavier dreams to become an aviator soon.
The whole assembly was dismantle on Nov 17, 2015, and normal fuselage work resumed on Nov 18 !
