I fit the forward channels and filed the ends to ensure the center seam was tight.<\/p>\n

I then transferred the lower hole locations to the upper channels.<\/p>\n

I then fabricated some spacers out of scrap 2x2s that were sanded down to 1.375″ thick. \u00a0Since I’m fabricating the cabin frame flat on my bench, I used some scrap 1x2s and long screws to clamp the cabin frame down tight to the bench.<\/p>\n

Here’s a closeup showing how the scrap wood is screwed directly to the bench. \u00a0These are positioned directly over the internal spacers. \u00a0This keeps the cabin frame thickness exactly 1.5″.<\/p>\n

Finally, the top channel was drilled.<\/p>\n

I then positioned the forward splice place and match drilled the channels to it. \u00a0This will eventually be installed on the inside of the channel.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Now that everything was positioned and drilled, I went back through and enlarged all holes to #30.<\/p>\n

While I was doing that, Andre stopped by and fabricated a number of the attach angles. \u00a0These are used to attach the cabin frame to the fuselage.<\/p>\n
