Mistakes so far...

Couple of mistakes I did so far .....

There is the Aileron counterweight. It took me an hour or so to figure out how to cut hte 1" lead blog. While I was so busy figuring that out I forgot to double check the measurement, since I had a brainfart on the inital measuring...
So to fix it I will modify the installation as seen on the picture.

Next ...
Forward upper longerons (I was working on that one, since I am still waiting on the hardware).

The slots to be put in, I thought that they have to be on the upper and lower side. Basically making a thru-slot - I should have checked the plan further ahead what the are for. Well, now I have one thru-slot which I am going to use for wires (..or so). Should not be affecting the structure...

Next ...

For the wing spacer made from 0.032" aluminum I took the wrong sheet of 0.063". after 7 spacers I figured it out and used the correct 0.032" which I was able to cut with the snips. Hopefully are the rest pieces big enough for the parts I need to make from the 0.063" sheet

Update 13.01.17
So, as I am trying to bend the former clips, I thought the 1/8" bend radius is small enought to just bend it in the vise and finish bending with a plier and by hand.
The first one worked out ok, but the second one jus broke off on the 120deg bend. Well I guss that radius is really necessary - So I cut out a new piece from the aluminum sheet and used a 1/4" drill bit for the radius...

Update 17.01.17

on the right side aft fuselage skin I put the rudder cable slot 3/16" to high, but I am going to wait how that plays out in the end - the fairing should cover it anyway if I have to open up the slot a bit.
Also the Flap-actuator opening is positioned 3/4" to far forward - well thats hidden behind the Flap itself and I wait here aswell how that plays out at the flap acuator installation, by how much I have to change that opening.... Agian one of those stories ...measure tripple before cutting 👷


Update 03.07.17

Drilling the titanium Landing gear - A NIGHT MARE - after messing up the tail wheel spring - I went to a local Steel shop and he drilled the main landing gear leg... should have done tht from the getgo....tail wheel sort of ok....not up to my standard however ....

Also I should have waited with the rear lower fuselage skin until the forward fuselage skin.... and fit them both together....
