Today I installed the side clips

Today I continued the fuselage box assembly. I continued to drill the pilot holes for the various parts in the assembly. The last remaining pieces are the side clips which I will get next time.

Today I continued to transfer the #40 holes on each side of the fire wall through to each angle as it continued to fit the fire wall to the front of the fuselage. After completing the vertical holes I proceeded to transfer the holes along the forward upper cross tie. Next, I drilled the holes down through the lower crosstie. The last thing today was to drill the holes and fit the upper firewall. I’m a little bit out of sequence to the plans so I need to backtrack a bit on this sheet.

Today I worked on installing the upper and lower cross ties at the fire wall.
