Lower longeron
Catégorie: Fuselage : Forward fuselage

Today I first began by loosing a lot of time installing the small angles I had fabricated last time. I made an error backdrilling the part to the longeron and had to refabricate the angles.



Then I cut the lower longeron to length an do the cut out per plans.



The longeron the gets twisted a bit and positionned on the fuselage skin, being careful it nest on the firewall weldment.
It's normal that the longeron is seen below the skin (it's below as the fuselage is still upside down).



Then the longeron gets drilled to the lower part of the weldment. Bolts will be used there, hence the bigger clecos.



Then the small gusset get fabricated, on the right the part before the cuts shown on the left side (the drilling has still to be done).



Here the part is positionned on the weldment. I have some egde distance issue with the last hole, I might have to redo it or add a rivet, I'm waiting for Vans' opinion.
