Brief Description:  Centre Fuselage

Received the upgrade parts for the main undercarriage mount structure, lots of deburring & alodining to do. Did a trial fit for most of the parts, all appears OK at this stage although 2 spacers that are required were not included with this shipment, they will be quite straight forward for me to make so no big deal there. The largest task will be removing the main undercarriage channel in order to match drill for doublers to be installed along its front & rear flanges. I'll need to support the forward & centre fuselage very well as when this channel is removed, the only structure tying the front to the back, will be a very thin centre console skin that will be easily buckled if I don't get it right. I think I will be able to match drill the side skins when all the structure is removed & on the bench. I need to confirm the positions of a couple of the new parts with the factory but overall I'm sure of what needs to happen. We'll see.
