1.8 hrs
Cut holes for landing gear and brake line in 972 skin
Start fabricating 917 lower longerons and 719B angle clip parts. Cut the stock to length and started layout out some of the other cuts.






Fabricating these odd parts is fun. I wish I was better at it. I need to get better at precision. One area that's difficult is drilling a hole in a precise location. Of course drilling by hand, that's to be expected, but I can't do much better with the drill press.
