Friday the 13th and I didn't tear anything up, in fact I made progress -Refined the shape of the gap filler pattern (for behind the prop blades). Ended up trimming some off that was rubbing in front of the blades. -Cut the pieces out of some .040 scrap -Layed out the rivet hole pattern and drilled the holes to #40 -Clamped to the backing plate and match-drilled the holes in the plate using the gap filler -Opened up the holes to #30 and retested the blade clearnance - needed alittle sanding on one of them.
13 hrs on the spinner thus far. Maybe I'll finish in 2012 instead of 2011...
Cutting out one of the gap fillers
Match-drilling the backing plate to the gap filler
One of the fillers in place. The blue tape is nice as it shows contact before you scratch the paint
