Brief Description: Disassemble left side
|
|
After flying this morning, I got back home and decided to drill the remaining engine mount and rudder bearings out to 3/16. I also mounted and drilled the bottom nose bearing bracket to the underside of the fuse, once this was bolted in place, I drilled the 4 holes into the plastic nose bearing bush, I have only drilled these out to 3/16 at the moment, but they need to be drilled and tapped to 1/4. Last bit of handy work was to locate and drill the holes for the horizontal bolt that is mounted in the nose gear assembly and passes through the nose gear bearing and essentially holds it in place. With this all finished, I had no more excuses, so I began disassembling and labeling the parts from the left side of the fuse so that I put them back where they are ment to go, the side skins have been removed and deburred along with all the supporting parts, I have also dimpled and primed these. I'll start on the right side tomorrow and maybe the floor, then it all goes back together again and I can finally rivet the structure together. I will add some photo's of the entire structure disassembed tomorrow. I hit the 411 hour mark in the building process today.
