Got the tail cone zipped up, but for the belly skin this weekend. Except for the lower cross-tie and the spacers, everything went rather smoothly. Yeah, the puckers are there on the turtle deck, but I'll revisit bulkhead stations 2 & 3 when there's nothing better to do.
Working the forward section now. Is there a better way of radiusing the engine mount brackets to nest up properly than just doing it all by hand with a vixen file? I tried a sanding disc and scotch-brite band, but it just gets so hot so fast that the file seems faster than waiting for things to cool. Only got one corner fit last night, but I can feel carpal tunnel setting in... I've run into a couple parts fit issues in the forward section so far with the lower horizontal firewall angle not matching the skin and gusset. Also mis-matches on the seat attach angles and seat support angles (F08-14 & F08-02). Sonex is sending angle stock to remake...
