The first thing I did today was all the final drilling of the firewall to the bottom and side skins. I had previously drilled the firewall holes to #43. I reamed all holes to #40 today.
Since I had a little more energy, I wanted to see what easy part I could move forward. The F-713L stringer is a easy part to knock out. I lined up the part in the fuselage to determine how much had to be trimmed to clear the F-704 bulkhead. I marked the interfering area.
This picture shows the left and right stringers. The upper stringer is the area I marked off, while the lower stringer shows the cut part. I cut both parts tonight. I’ll get the stringers match drilled next time I go into the hangar.
