Brief Description: Forward Spar Assembly
|
|
I finished fabricating the horizontal stabilizer forward spar assembly today. It still needs to be smoothed, primed, and riveted, but it still feels like another big step is finished.
This assembly wasn't really that difficult, but it did require some careful measuring, and premeasuring. almost all the measurements are referenced from a particular hole per side. However, one of them was referenced from the leading face instead of the hole. I didn't notice it as soon as I should have, so it caused a lot of head scratching. Fortunately I didn't cut or drill anything until I had this figured out.
I've been working on this project a little here and there for the past month, but the holiday season definitely slowed me down. I'm hoping I'll be able to start working on the tail again on a regular basis. I did, however, reorganize my workshop, and was able to add a much larger table. I can now build fairly large pieces like this one in a much more comfortable environment than my garage.
