Manual Reference:  29
Brief Description:  Finished match drilling of components.

This completes all match drilling for Chapter 29. On to the dimpling and final prep before riveting. There were a couple of spots that were a pain, one being a forward hole on all four corners of the firewall brackets. If you look in the second picture, you can almost make out a hole to the left of the gold cleco. It's blocked by the flange and firewall so you can't get in there with even an angle drill. I ended up using a 12" bit that I could bend into alignment while drilling.

Chapter 29 is the big chapter in the Fuselage section. There are a couple other big tasks like attaching the tailcone and fitting the canopy, but this is the most comprehensive chapter at twice the size of any other. Getting through this will be a fair milestone and I should be through it in about 2 weeks.
