Even though there is work left to do on the wings, I was excited to get started on the fuselage. \u00a0First up is to fabricate the firewall. \u00a0There are several parts that have to be fabricated from rough stock. \u00a0These are fabricated from some beefy 0.187″ thick angle stock.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>This stiffener is fabricated from some 0.063″ angle stock.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>These attach angles tie together the lower firewall stiffener, two upper firewall stiffeners and later the forward floor stiffeners of the fuselage. \u00a0These need to be spaced 3\/32″ from the flange of the lower stiffener. \u00a0The easiest way to do this is to use a #40 drill bit to position the angle. \u00a0Behind the angle are a couple of shims that are scotch taped in place so that all of these can be drilled together to the firewall.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Using plenty of boelube, these are match drilled using the firewall as a guide.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>After fabricating a couple of additional stiffeners, I clecoed all of the stiffeners and weldments to the firewall. \u00a0The four gray brackets in each corner are powder coated steel weldments that will eventually tie the fuselage longerons directly to the engine mount through some beefy bolts.<\/p>\n
