(no title)
I removed the front half of the F-704 from the center section and did some trial fitting of the gear mounts. Eventhough I dimpled the F-704 already, there is plenty of room for shop heads under the gear mount. I’m not worried about that anymore.
I deburred the F-704 and F-705 bulkheads and started deburring the rest of the aft fuselage where the longerons attach. I also dimpled the F-705 and drilled holes for the static line. Yeah, I said holes, plural. I’ve gotten so accustomed to drilling holes on both sides for the rudder cables, that I drilled holes on both sides for the static line. No harm done. Maybe they’ll come in handy for wiring or something.
The list of items remaining to prep before assembly is getting shorter. I mainly just need to debur and dimple the side and bottom skins and then prime everything.
