Title: Worked on multiple parts
Fuselage 1 (Josh Weiss): After we deburred and prepped all the skins for the fuel tank, we started clecoing them in today after attaching the hardware. We match drilled as well. Next step for us is to finish the hardware and then start riveting. Fuselage 2 (Rebecca Colwell): We match drilled into some steel bar. Just drilling 2 holes took most of today. We used complex strategies. This steel is the counter weight for the flaperon so that the plane stays balanced when flying. Fuselage seat (Richard Glidden): We worked on the seat backs. We deburred and then match drilled some stuff for the hinges. The seats fold forward to access the fuel tank. Wings (Holden Glass + Maggie Colwell): We had a tough time getting some of the tight in board ribs riveted. We really had to struggle and get in there. As the patented term coined by Maggie states: "struggle bus." They struggle bused until they got the rivets in. We had a hard time to get the rivets 90. Mentors: A little rubber blob floats in the fuel tank that has a sensor that tells us how much fuel we have left.
