Brief Description:	Forward fuselage structure #3
I used brand new #30 drill bits for this, and went through a couple of them. Repeated the steps of the left lower longeron and drilled all the #30 holes, enlarged the #12 and #19 holes and clecoed everything up as I drilled. Vacuumed all of the shavings up and did a little tidying in the garage. I got a call from Bob yesterday and my fairings are enroute to Lewiston, NY. I'll pick them up next week as were heading down to Fort Myers for the March break. I sent back the Deluxe throttle to Van's as I already had one and I thought I could use it for the rear seat. No where did I see that the rear seat throttle was an option (I should have looked forward in the plans) , so those of you coming down this road, there is an option for the rear seat throttle that isn't included in the kit and you have to order. I wish Van's would put a list out of all the "other" stuff that you can order to make things a little easier and save on shipping. Once it arrives, I'll apply the credit to the rear throttle and the Andair fuel valve that I will order this coming week. I'm holding off on the upper longerons until we get into the beatter weather and I can make room in the garage to bend them. In picture #3, you can see the rear rudder pedal brackets have been installed. Install those now before you go any further in the build. It's just so much easier to do it.
