Sep 23, 2008     Battery box - (1.6 hours) Category: Firewall Forward

With the help of Chris and Jim, I lifted the fuselage and attached shortened legs to the false spars. Now, the fuselage sits at the perfect height to work on it while bending over from floor-level.

I finished fabricating the battery attach angles, drilled and clecoed them to the firewall, then removed and deburred all components. The lower angle will be attached to the firewall with six rivets, and there will be two AN-3 bolts that pass though also, holding the forward angle to the firewall. After trimming about 1/4" off the upper and lower attach angles, I prepped and primed them.
