Brief Description: Fuselage - Front Seat Back & Cockpit rail drilling
|
|
One of the last fuselage drilling operation before dismantling the fuselage for final assembly prep, I had postponed the Front Seat Back WD-808 with the cockpit rails F-816 and spacers F856, both LH and RH, since July. In July while drilling these parts, I realized I made a mistake no clamping both side of fuselage. It turned out I got low E/D issues.
About two weeks ago, I re-ordered new WD-808 Front Seat Back Support and F856 spacers. Today, I borrowed 40 inches clamps from my friend Luc Montembault. With wood blocks on both side of fuselage to protect the skin, I was able to compress the fuselage, and subsequently, align all parts properly for correct edge distance. I drilled all holes dia #30, then #19 for (8) screw holes. Everything turn out ok this time, thank to the clamps.
