9/27/19 3.0 Hours Spent the three hours getting the right lower strut fittting to go onto the fuselage tab. The slot in the strut fitting was not uniform and had to be filed/sanded on one side. I want a snug fit but not forced. Went faster than yesterdays.
9/28/19 3.5 Hours Retrived the struts from the rack and cleaned off the mouse crap/urine. Pesky littler dudes. Marked the right inboard strut and fitting as per plan and HomeBuilt video. Used large C clamp to hold fitting in place while I drilled first few pilot holes then clecoed. Up drilled using several different drill sizes until the 1/4' final size. Have to get new battery for drill as one of them only holds charge for a few minutes (it is old as the hills).
