Fuselage center section #83 - Forward upper fuselage parts priming!

Finished up part prep and primming!

Fabricated these canopy mount angles per the KAI's.

Centered the line on the angle with the hole in the canopy mount rib.

Clamped the fabricated angle and match drilled the nutplate rivet holes.  Then match drilled the bolt hole to 1/4".


Pulled out the DRDT-2 in order to dimple the holes left by Van's in the middle of this shelf.  Weird why Van's dimples some of these at the factory and then leaves a few for the builder.  If you don't have this tool or the C-Frame tool, they recommend some alternatives but they suck!

All the parts are coated in primer!  Hopefully some assembly tomorrow!
