3rd April 2009 - Forward fuselage complete

No post yesterday because I was half way through a whole set of tasks. But they all came together today with the completion of the structure of the forward fuselage and it's glazing. Jobs completed included: fabricating the right fuselage cheek panel and match drilling it to the support tabs and the firewall; fabricating the right windscreen support angles shown in the first picture, installing tabs 264 to 266 to support the two overdoor panels; fabricating the right overdoor panel and the right overdoor angle which closes the gap to the main screen; and trimming to final size the panel at the rear of the main screen. I won't be able to get into the workshop next week but it's always satisfying when you can look at a section that is not only complete but feels right.
