Brief Description:  Cabin Cover

I started working with the cabin cover. The first day i worked approximately 6 hours rough cutting the cabin cover after I traced the scribe lines. The second day I took the canopy outside to finish rough cutting the door openings. I then placed the cabin cover on the fuselage and checked the fit. With a little more trimming and sanding with a belt sander I was able to fairly well fit the cabin to the fuselage. This took about 3 hours. I then drilled the #30 holes into the cabin top thru the F-1074 Tailcone Forward Top Skin and clecoed as i went down the sides. I then moved from aft to the front of the fuselage drilling each hole in the side skin and then into the cabin cover. After that I started working on the door entries and secured them to the fuselage and drilled the appropriate sized holes as called out in the plans on page 43-5 and 43-6. This took bout 3 hours. I then placed the WD-1043 Center Cabin Brace into position for mounting it between the F-1071 Fwd Top Skin and the cabin cover. Drilled the #12 holes into the cabin top and then into the brace located under the F-1071. This took about 30 minutes. I experienced my first tool failure of this entire build when my small angle drill attachment failed. Total time for this write up is 12.5 hours.
