8-9 SEP 15: Deburring:
8.75 hours
Nothing left to put together until I get some help
riveting the side skins, so I worked ahead in the plans and deburred most of
the remaining parts for the fuse – no pics.
10 SEP 15: Deburring, Page 42-2 steps 1-3: 7 hours
Fabricated the two F-637B-L/R angles, and four
F-637C angles for the rear seat backs.
Drilled holes in both F-637A seat makes.
To make it a bit easier, I made a template to place the holes:
Continued deburring the rest of the pieces for the
fuselage – really not much left at all!
I have a lot of priming to do!
11 SEP 15: Deburring, page 44-2 step 1, 33-2 5-6, 42-3 1-5, 42-4
1: 8.75 hours
Cut apart the F-1099EFG-L/R wing root fairing
supports. Match drilling the hinge onto
the baggage floors to accept the rear seat backs:
Finished building the rear seat backs:
I was reviewing the plans and the structure to make
sure there wasn’t anything that I by-passed that I could complete and noticed
an oversite I made. Mmmmm….something’s
missing….
Luckily at this stage, I’m a pro a drilling out
rivets! A few minutes later:
Riveting back together:
Good as new; better, actually, since I now have the
proper pieces installed!

deburring: 7 hours
A blast from the past. Since I’m pretty much stalled on the fuselage
until I rivet the side skins, I went back and hit a few steps on the empennage that
I by-passed. Prepped all the parts for
the pitch trim system. These brackets
took longer than expected to fabricate:

steps 1-2: 8 hours
Finally got back to riveting the side skins – I feel
like I’ve been on section 29 forever!
Actually, I probably have been working on it for 2 months. My friend came over and helped me shoot rivets. We got some of the tougher ones and then I
continued on solo. Great to see it
coming together and most of the clecoes gone!
