Welcome to my builders log for Sonex S/N 767. It won't be as big as a real 767 but if you scale the speed I bet it will be almost as fast
I worked on the left hand lower spar cap. I continued to work at removing the left over flange that had been machined off. I know this is not really required but it makes the tie down fitting fit better and looks nice.
After having my MD-RA inspection yesterday I was able to start closing up all of the components that I have made so far. Today I started with the ailerons.
A couple of rivets at the lower rib needed to be pulled by hand as they seemed to interfere with the rivets holding the control horn. By using a hand puller I was able to ensure that the head was seated properly as I slowly pulled the rivets.
I completed all of the rivets on the horizontal stabilizer except for those at the tips. I left these for latter when I get ready to attach the fiberglass tips.
I completed up drilling to #30. Now I need to deburr all of the holes. With all the holes deburred and the ailerons clecoed together I think it\’s time for my first inspection by the MD-RA.
