Brief Description: Began Constructing Rudder and Brake Pedals
Last night, I ordered a 90 degree drill attachment and threaded bit set from Avery Tools. I also ordered 50 more #30 clecos and rudder cable fairings. I added another swivel for my airline, as my old swivel leaks incessantly. The drill attachment should come in handy as I move forward with the fuselage construction. I debated purchasing a dedicated 90 degree air drill, but purchased the attachment instead. I hope I wasn't pennywise and pound foolish.
I am installing brakes on both sides of the plane. It may just be added weight and complexity, but I remember years ago when I learned to fly that an instructor jumped into the right seat of a transient plane to taxi it to a hangar for the night and taxied it "into" the hangar instead of "to." He's probably still working as a line boy to this day.
I pulled out the brake pedal pieces and finished the edges with a combination of file, Scotchbrite wheel and Dremel tool. I cut the angle for the side braces to length and then stopped for the evening.
