Fuselage (Section 8): May 2008 Archives
Ahh, that looks promising...... I'll just check it out against the
drawing to refine it a little more. Wait.... what's this? There's
another drawing that I didn't see and I've built the part for an RV8
and not the 8A!!! Blast and double blast!!!! I've not got enough material to salvage two new parts so it's back to Van's yet again to order the aluminium!!
That chin needs some work on it too!!!
Using a band/hand saw and a vixen file to 'shape up' nicely to the drawing spec.
As this site is supposed to catalogue my build process, I've included these entries to show how sometimes things just don't go the way I expected them to!!!
So this is how to make the F-863. First measure and draw out the cut to lines......
This picture better illustrates the drilling process!
