Adjusting the temporary firewall with clamps so that it is centred over the plank, level, and the tip of the longerons will be 23″ above the plank. I ensured the 23″ height from the plank to the line where the top of the fuselage sides will be. The temporary firewall was centred to the plank …
There was a small void in the lower front of each fuselage side. I drilled a small entry hole in both voids and using a syringe, I filled both voids with epoxy until the epoxy dripped out the front. Workshop temperature was 27 deg C and humidity was 49%. I mixed 15g resin with 5.7g …
A centreline was marked on the plank at 4.625″ (4 5/8) from each side. Two sets of two 2x4s were nailed to the 10′ plank perpendicular to the centerline, level, and exactly 101.75″ apart. The 101.75″ is measured from the outboard side of both sets and 101.75″ was confirmed across multiple locations along the 2x4s. The temporary firewall …
Procured a 2″ x 10″ x 10′ plank and two 2″ x 4″ x 8′ s for Cozy fuselage assembly and alignment. A 2″ x 10″ x 10′ plank was placed in position on the shop floor and shimmed level. This plank will serve as the base ( W.L. 0.0) of the jig for fuselage …
Adjusted fit of temporary firewall (right side) to ensure the longerons and stringer pass through the pre-cut holes in the firewall. The Cozy fuselage is starting to take form …
