More Work on Baffles

I drilled and riveted on a support brace to the right aft wall.  It was a mistake to rivet this on now as it makes installing the right aft wall very difficult.  Since this wall has to go on and off a bunch of times before it’s on for good, I’m going to drill this brace out.

I drilled the vent attach flange.  This is not the cheesy one that comes in the kit.  Instead, I purchased a single piece flange from Aircraft Spruce.  The hole pattern for the included flange doesn’t work, but this will cover the existing holes, so I just drilled four new ones.

Here’s the crappy little flange that’s included in the kit.  Everyone says these break eventually, so I’m just going to send it back.

I also fit the vent screen.  This will keep bugs and other shit from getting blown into the cabin.
