More countersinking. That will likely be the theme for the next 10 hrs or so as I prep the fuselage for final assembly. I bought a extra reconditioned microstop countersink cage at Oshkosh to help cut down on the constant bit changes and adjustments - glad I did and wish I had a 3rd one. Today I got a fare amount done. Not too many pics as it's not exactly exciting work. -Countersunk for dimples #30 holes in the aux longerons L/R -Countersunk for dimples #30 holes in the gear box plates L/R (lots of holes) -Countersunk for dimples #40 holes in the aux longerons L/R -Countersunk for flush rivets #30 the seat back support plates L/R. -Re-cleco'd the center section plates (F804H-1) on and countersunk for dimples #40 holes L/R. -Countersunk for dimples #30 the holes in the top of F856 spacer (goes under the cockpit rail and from seat back support weldment L/R. -Countersunk for dimples #20 in the F856 described above L/R. -Countersunk for dimples #20 the lower longerons per the plans L/R -Countersunk for flush #8 screws (#20 countersink) the aux longerons per the plans L/R -Countersunk for dimples #20 gear box plates L/R -Countersunk for dimpels #40 in the F857 Angles L/R
