Started tonight by adding the vertical extension to my new saw horses. This gets them up high enough to clear all the bulkheads. Easy peasy.
Then I cleco'ed the aft three bulkheads to the bottom skin. This is a bit challenging to align.
Then I slid the two fwd stiffeners into place.
Then I aligned the centerline with the holes and aligned the starting point to the fwd most hole and drilled the stiffeners to the skin with my new 4000rpm drill. Man I love this thing! Makes fast work of these holes!
Here are the fwd end of the fwd stiffeners all drilled.
And then I drilled the aft end of the fwd stiffeners to the skin. Go carefully and make sure the line stays in the middle of the holes!
Then I slid in the aft center stiffener and drilled it the same way.
Then I cleco'ed these two bellcrank ribs to the assembly.
And match reamed their holes that are common with the skin. I could not find anywhere in the directions on when to do this so I did it now.
Then I match drilled these bellcrank rib flange to bulkhead web rivet holes to #30. Used a 12" drill bit to make it easier to align.
Here are the stiffeners and bellcrank ribs all drilled to the bottom skin. I love the new drill!
