Brief Description: Fuselage - Starting final assembly !
This day was a milestone achievement day on my RV-8 project....I started final assembly on my RV-8 fuselage !
Initially, I started working on the third practice ailerons kit I had procured and got parts painted. While I was back riveting ribs on CP-1 and CP-2 skins, I was looking at the F870 Front bagage door floor and its ribs. It looked a lot like to CP-1 and CP-2 parts I was just doing. Well, instead of finishing the practice kit, I couldn't contain the temptation to work directly on aircraft parts. Therefore, I jumped on the opportunity to work on the Fwd bagage floor and got it complete ! I never came back to work on the practice kits.
Once the bagage floor assy was completed, I continued the assembly by installing nutplate to the various parts listed below:
