- Bent the curves to the top of center section side plates and landing gear box plates IAW the instructions. - Prepared all of the gussets. Added the appropriates curves and radiuses so they fit. - Fit the left lower longeron to the structure. I had to do some more tweaking with the rubber hammer and vise to it to get the aft portion of the longeron to fit flush with F-822-1 Forward Floor Panel. - Match drilled the left lower longeron to the floor panel. - Countersunk the holes in the bottom of the gear tower for #8 screws. - Removed the longeron and deburred everything. - Added the radius to the angle vertex on the aft portion IAW the plans - Clekoed and temp bolted the left lower longeron back on. - Ready to do right side
This shows the left gear box and center section side plates after they've been bent to fit the curves.
