Brief Description: Tooling - Fuselage Center Section - Fake Spar
This Thursday evening, I started fabricating spacers, or fake spars, as required for Center Section F804 assembly (ref: Instruction page 8-11, step 12 on that page). Initially, I had purchased different thicknesses of plywood with the idea in mind to stack them up to make the required thickness of 1 7/16". It turned out that when I cut my first two pieces of 3/4" thick plywood and stack them up together, I checked and I had exactly 1 7/16" thickness as required. Great ! I made my fake wing spar 12" X 7 3/4". Approximately 6" will protude outside of each side of fuselage, to be later attached to a transport dolly.
I will finish those fake spar over the week-end.
I worked on those from 20h00 until 21h30 approximately, after completing some tasks on Center Section F804 started in the afternoon.
