This evening, I fabricated the F-873G forward baggage door hinge support. [Re-built later]
I also decided to tackle a bunch of too-tight nutplates in the forward part of the fuselage, including the 13 nutplates that attach the walls of the lower section of the forward baggage compartment. As I was running a tap through one of them, the tap broke off. (That's what I get for buying cheap Chinese taps from Harbor Freight.) Rather than trying to drill out the piece of the tap, I ended up removing the nutplate and replacing it. Glad this happened with one of the nutplates that I have good access to!
Finally, I put the final coat of paint on the components of the pedal adjustment mechanism.
Gradually, spring is coming. I've really missed working on this plane!
