7 hrs

Fit step kit, both sides, drill and deburr. Simple sentence, took 4 and a half hours. Lot's of bending, checking, sanding, cutting, etc. to get them fit good. They have started to rust. It comes off with sanding, but these need to get primed pretty fast after getting the fuselage kit.




Then continued disassembly and prep of the forward fuselage.
Deburr 684 gussets, 719 stiffeners, 713 aux longerons, 917 lower longerons.
Countersink 719 stiffeners.
Deburr firewall, countersink bottom flange.
Drill, deburr, and countersink 684 for nutplates.
Drill holes in 9101 to size.
