Brief Description: Started assembling fuselage jig
|
|
We had my mother in law, Mary Charles Linscott, over for dinner and she came down into the basement to see the project. Following the 15 minute rule, she was there longer than 15 minutes, so I put her to work, holding the sides of the fuselage jig so that I could screw in the interior braces. She has always been a great mother in law and, at age 81, she is a real trooper. By the end of the night, I had attached all of the interior braces, carefully measuring the stations so that the placement is precise. The fuselage bulkheads are placed at "stations", which are measured from "station 0" at the firewall. Each station is simply a measured distance from station 0. For example, station 105 would be 105 inches from the firewall (station 0). Next, I will assemble the legs onto the framework and place the bulkhead crossmembers.
