Brief Description:  Fuselage - Replacement Parts work

This Saturday, prior to moving forward with other sections of fuselage, I decided to work on the newly received replacement parts. My objective was to finalize some fuselage section that were left off due to missing parts. I worked on:

- I started by deburring the Stab attach bars that were slightly marred by the band saw when I used those parts as cutting guide for F811A and F811E
- Per instruction for bulkhead F811, I then reassemble the bulkhead on cleco, and used my hand seamer to open flanges on F811A to make them parallel with F811E
- Upon completion of F811 bulkhead, I focused my attention to drilling and dimpling holes on F813C-1 parts for the seat rib. I added the holes for nutplate to upper flange, as per the removable floor mod. Once it was done drilling and dimpling, I removed the damaged on and replaced it with this new one (Closing an open quality issue)
- Next step was to work on the new Landing gear box buklhead face. I drilled all the hole full size, then deburred them all too. I added the required features, but this time refrain from countersinking holes where it is not required !

During the day, I also went to Rona, where I purchased bolts for the vise, and new battery for my Mitutoyo caliper.

I worked from 14h00 until 18h00, then from 20h30 until 22h00
