Brief Description: Front right side work moving ahead
I seem to be taking my sweet time on this part of the project. The temptation is to compare my building time to others, but I have generally chosen not to. Last night I added the two additional horizontal angles on both sides, and tonight I went ahead by extending the bottom angle rivet line back to the center spar area. At least that's what I planned. Once I reviewed the plans, it was clear that my slavish adherence to the plan-specified location of the bottom horizontal L angle did not result in alignment with the top edge of the cabin floor skin. To solve the problem, I extended the L angle rivet line and added another line of rivets above it and 10mm from the top edge of the cabin floor edge. I know it is overkill, but it only adds 14 rivets per side and I'll have peace of mind. Additionally, it won't show because this area is covered by the front of the wing. The last job of the night was to mark the forward side skins, remove them, trim and reinstall. The results were outstanding, so all my sweating and concern were either for nothing or precisely the reason I got it right. I guess I'll never know!
Front right side nearly complete. Note the trimmed bottom edge.
