Ch. 5 - Fuselage sides - Part 5


Drilling the gear bracket holes  (7.9 hrs)


To tell you the truth, I worried I'd screw this up and have to throw away the whole sidewall. 

To better my chances, and help me drill all of the 16 holes perpendicular to the sidewall, I ended up making a drilling block.

There's no going back now!

The bolts in the pictures are not the final ones, they are just some extra long bolts I had laying around.  


Test fitting






Everything will have to come down one more time because I still have to fabricate, test, and fit 4 additional LGMA steel bushings, before I can consider this chapter finished.
