Brief Description: Twist Longeron, trim & cut slots
I have to admit that I am a very indepentent person....I ususally do not have and problem doing things myself. Most of this project can be done by one person....there are, however, times when I need someone else's help.....Like bucking rivets in hard to reach places. Wendy and I worked on those rivets last night, but we did not finish. It was getting late and I had been working on the plane all day and I was getting tired. You do not want to buck rivets when you are getting tired!! (that's when mistakes are made). Anyhow...Wendy had some business do attend to tonight, so I will not get her to help me finish this round of riveting until tomorrow night.....that is forever to a builder! I only worked on the plane for a couple of hours today, because I can't go any further until the riveting is done. I did manage to put the twist in the front ends of the longeons and cut the slot and trim the other ends. I am ready to put these two halves together......I will have to wait....unless I can talk my brother into giving me a hand tomorrow afternoon........
End view of the longeron...note the twist. This twist is on the sharp bend toward the firewall.
