5.0 hrs
Finished match drilling the longerons to skins. Looks very cool. I had to trim just a touch of material off the front 904 riser on both sides. Otherwise the longeron was just a bit too proud of the edge of the 970.



Made the 904L straps. Still need to match drill and install them. Also made the 635B bellcrank spacer while I was messing around cutting .063 strips.
Somewhere in all that time I had to rescue a humingbird that got stuck in the garage. Those things aren't the brightest birds.



I clocked out there and cleaned up the big mess from two days of drilling longerons.

Couldn't stand it though, I had to get the 972 skin in place and then trial fit the firewall.



COOL!
