Brief Description: Adding Tailcone to Fwd Fuse - finishing
I clecoed the longeron gussets back into postion on the left and right sides (F-848, F-845, F-846) and then began to clamp the Upper Longerons to both webs of the WD-802 engine mount bracket. This took a little doing as the engine mount and longeron are on a slant and so I cut some angles in the wood that I used to compress the longeron/mount. The plans wants you to use 2 clamps to make sure you get the longeron flush to both webs of the mount. I used a mirror and it looks like I am lined up really well. But I will probably still drill one hole and take a look just to be sure. Once the left and the right side were done, I went ahead and clamped the rest of the upper longerons all the way back to the aft end of the fuselage.
clamped and ready
sorry for the fuzzy pic...supposed to show mount/clamps
