Today's session involved work on
assemblies of all sizes. Starting with the tail section, the bulkhead
assembly was finally completed and attached to the tail cone
structure along with the side skins.
For the fuselage section, a few
students completed some prep work on fuel tank pieces and landing
gear components. Others worked on bolting the engine mount standoff
to the fuselage firewall, as well as attaching the canopy frame.
Now onto the major assembly of the
day...
The hangar experienced a little
rearrangement today to make room for the 27 feet span of wing and
fuselage! The exciting task of wing attachment was finally
accomplished this afternoon. After some period of maneuvering and
adjustment, both wings slid into the fuselage and are now resting
comfortably in their proper places on the plane. A great deal of
satisfaction and excitement was shared among all, however the hangar
suddenly feels a bit crowded.
