October 3, 2006 - SubPanel Reinforcers |
||||||
I had made the Panel reinforcer but I still had the three subpanel reinforcers. The drawings call for a 1/4" radius circle at the vertex of the wedge cutouts, so I used the 1/4" bit in the drill press. I copied Dan Checkoway's technique of clamping some scrap angle to the drill press to use as a guide. Doing that made the drilling go very quickly. Then I used the snips to cut out the wedtes. | ||||||
Next I sat on the couch for a couple of hours and filed and sanded
edges.

I had ordered some rudder cable fairings from Avery Tools. Before
I could rivet them on, I had to install Adel clamps on the the plastic
tubes that covers the rudder cables as they exit the fuselage sides.
It was a little tricky getting the washers and nuts started but I got it
done.
