The
fist step in the forward fuselage construction is to get the blasted
firewall lined up in all 3 dimensions...this takes patience and a lot
of plumb bobs and levels. Right now the 2 passengers would get
alot of wind if this plane were to fly....and hey...where is the
instrument panel!
Once you have the firewall situated you can then get the side skins on
and riveted to the firewall to hold it in place. Trimming out
the sides skins is very easy and will only take a couple of
hours. I thought that this would have been difficult but is not.
Get your rudder pedals installed and all the forward fuselage
flooring. Note the fuel tank supports.
Took 6months to build the forward fuselage...
