Brief Description: Windscreen - strap & bow drilling
|
|
- As noted yesterday, my plans-cut bow strap was too short, so I needed to make a new one. I taped the first one to another piece of .025, traced it, extended the two ends to make it longer, and cut it out. It came out looking better than the first one.
- Put the bow strap between the windscreen and the bow and carefully began snipping away at the ends of the strap until they were flush with the fuselage stringer (photo #1).
Played with setting the bow strap between the windscreen and the aluminum bow, so I could drill through all 3 pieces at the same time. I could not get all that stuff to line up and stay in place to do so. So in later pictures you'll see I decided to do the bow and bow strap together, and will then use those pilot holes to drill the canopy.
More photos on the next 2 pages (Kitlog often puts multiple entries of the same date, out of order from the way they are created. So look for the date to see the other related photos.

When I though I would include the windscreen, I measured the fastening points and marked.
