Day 13 - April 11, 2015

Today at the hangar, TF4 kept seeing many sub-assemblies coming together.  This included the forward lower fuselage and the mid fuse brace behind the seats.  The center of attention, was the fuselage assembly.  The entire bottom skin was riveted on to the ribs, and the floors and seat areas were riveted on also.  

 

 

 

The upper forward fuselage was also worked on.  The upper cowling hinge was cut and prepared and the upper firewall had to be prepared by installing nutplates.  

 

 

 

As for the roll bar, we had to drill a hole to thread the wires of the eyeball light through.  After that, the roll bar was entirely riveted together as one piece.
