| Finished off the console today. Match drilled the attach holes to the fwd fuse rib cap. Then cut out the map case door from .062 |
|
| and riveted on the hinge. since the top of the console is curved, it required 2 pieces of 1/8 alum offset on a joggle to get the hing |
|
| high enough and in far enough to clear the edge of the console. I flush riveted the inge to one of the 1/8" pieces and then flush |
|
| riveted that assembly to the other 1/8" piece on a joggle, then drilled both for a #8 screw and then match drilled to the side of the |
|
| console. Countersunk the console side. primed the whole shebang and installed it. I then used bondo to build up all of the sides |
|
| so that the cover sits flush with the finished edges. I wrapped the cover in saran wrap, which the bondo won't adhere to and then |
|
| lathered on the goop. took several layers to get it built up and the pits' filled. I'm done with this for the time being, until I install the |
|
| avionics/electric and prep for final paint. |
