Brief Description: Trim side skins, rivet right side of fuse
|
|
This evening I trimed the front side skins level with the front fuselage floor. I actually marked the skins, removed them and trimed them on the bench, even though the instructions allude to triming them in place, I just found this to be rather akward. Anyway, either way will work. Even though I trimed inside the line I marked, the bottom of the skins still overhang by 1 to 2mm, but I was in no mood to remove them again, and besides if I trimed as per the instructions, my rivet edge distance would be comprimised. Its one of those executive decisions you just need to make. With this done I started riveting the right side skin, its pretty much done, however I am holding off doing the firewall and the top extrusion, jsut incase something needs to come apart in this area. Tomorrow night I'll do the left side and install all the bolts that hold the engine mounts and undercarridge in palace along with the rudder peddles.
