I got the F-713 stiffener drilled on the left side of the fuselage. This involved getting one hole drilled along the centerline of the part and fixing the part so another hole could be drilled. I bought some deep jaw clamps on Amazon which should make the right side much easier.
Here’s the final product on the left side.
The stiffener has one of those annoying jogs. I’m not super happy with the fit, but I think it looks okay.
I got the F-719 stiffener drilled. Again, this was not super easy to constrain while drilling. The trick is to get 2 holes accurately drilled and then the rest can be located.
I had some compressor issues today. You can see where the power wire disconnected form the connector and overheated the plastic. I’ll get a new plug next time I go into the hangar.
