Nov 19, 2023 Windows in, 1 wing on Category: Fuselage
All of my side windows are in! I still need to do some clean up work but the windows are all in. Overall I'm happy with the results but in a few spots the windows aren't fully flush with the skin on the canopy. Also my step dad is visiting for the holidays so I put him to work and we (Kody, mike and me) temp installed the left wing. The reason I wanted to temp install the wing was to get the exact spacing for the metal fuel lines and the wires that I need to finish. I am hoping to get that kind of work done so when I finally move to the airport things will progress quickly. I also received my Steinair air vents but I wanted to be able to screw them into the sidewall. The included nut didn't allow me to do that so I stole the idea of a 3D printed plastic adapter (thanks Aaron) and made a piece of sheet aluminum with tabs that engaged the nut that came with the vent and I also used JB Weld to secure it in the sheet aluminum. I will rivet that plate to the sidewall at a later date when the upholstery is done. Lastly, Kody and I worked on filling the rivets with epoxy filler on the top of the left wing which was previously not accessible as it was sitting on the storage rack.
