15/09/2007 - Front spar work

With the rear spar completed, its the turn of the front spar.

 

 

The holes filled by the clecos must not have rivets in them because this is where it will attach to the fuselage.  Ok, ok I had to drill one out cause I forgot and I had got carried away !

The inboard most rivets are flush rivets so that it mates with the fuselage in the middle.

There was also a little frilling to do to create a 5/8" hole for the trim cable to go through.  I have lined it with a plastic snap bush and can be seen in the pictures.

Pleased with the results overall, they look good.
