- Trimmed the lower firewall. It then fit very nicely.
- Pilot drilled about 40% of the holes into the aluminum frames, and cleco'd in place (photo #1).
- I tried drilling through the stainless steel firewall across the bottom, but NONE of my bits would go through the stainless. I need to get other bits.
- So I drilled out and countersunk (where called for) the fuselage attach brackets (joining the forward and aft fuselage sections (photo #2). I got 75% of them done.
