Started building in earnest tonight. Nothing really complex happened, unless you count me very gingerly working with my pricey aluminum bits. I cleaned up the HS-609PP rear spar doubler, rounded the edges, and then clecoed and match-drilled it to the HS-603PP spar channels.
I took care of a few firsts tonight as well. First, I added my first bits of blood to the project. (adding my DNA just makes it that much more personalized, right?) I still don’t know how I busted my knuckle. I was match-drilling and wondering what these strange red flecks on the spar channel were when I noticed the knuckle. Oh, that’s my blood. That was after I got careless with the reamer and spun it across my formerly peerless aluminum, leaving a nice scratch in its wake. I’ll have to make sure I clean that up thoroughly before priming later on…
Sorry, only one photo tonight. I’m going to have to make a concerted effort to take photos as I go; It end to get involved in stuff I’m working on, to the point that stopping and taking pictures is the last thing on my mind.
