<\/a><\/p>\nWe’re definitely building a tip-up so I laid out and cut a square hole in each gusset which accommodates the canopy latch eyes. \u00a0After that I\u00a0clecoed them in place on the fuse and F-705 bulkhead, and match-drilled them to the longerons – pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n
Next up – four gussets that anchor the F-706 and F-707 bulkheads to the longerons. \u00a0I clamped them in place, but the bulkheads are pretty wiggly at this point and it was hard to tell if the gussets were aligned properly in the forward-aft direction.<\/p>\n Only a couple of more gussets to go, and it’s time for priming and riveting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the rear deck drilled, I have a lot of little bits and pieces – gussets, anchors and such – to fit and drill to the fuselage. \u00a0Nothing particularly difficult, but some of the parts are rather important so they … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Just to make sure these pieces were in the right place, I clecoed the upper skins onto the fuse and adjusted the gusset positions. \u00a0This had the added benefit of providing a little visual motivation – it was nice to see another major fuse skin in place, even if only temporarily.<\/p>\n<\/a>With all that clecoing and clamping done, I drilled the gussets in place…<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0…and then moved onto the shoulder harness anchors. \u00a0These are kinda important, so I took my time placing them…<\/p>\n<\/a>…and drilling them in place.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
