Topside deburring

I went back out to the garage after dinner to work on a little something. I didn’t feel like deburring the seat skins on the Scotchbrite wheel (too noisy and dusty). I pulled out the forward covers, but didn’t want to jump that far ahead. I pulled out the crotch strap attach point kit, but I think I need to verify the thickness of the seat belts before I install that.

I ended up deburring and dimpling the top halves of the bulkheads and the gusset and rib that go under the top skin. A worthwhile task that doesn’t take too much thinking.

I looked ahead in the instructions and there is a fair amount to do, but not too much. I need to install the forward covers, flap actuator, and gear mounts, attach the empennage, work on the rollbar/cabin frame, brake, fuel, and vent lines, and then the forward top structure and skin. I’m going to wait until I’m in the hangar to fit the wings, so I think that’s about all that’s left on the fuselage. Cool.
