I spent much of last week diagnosing and fixing a blocked sewer. The problem eventually turned out to be a complete fracture of a pipe caused, presumably, by the ground drying and settling. Of course the section in concrete didn't move whereas the section in the soil did by about 5" downwards. This snapped the 4" pipe completely which blocked everything. Given that all this happened a 30"underground it resulted in some back-breaking digging to get at it and graft in a new section of pipe. Anyway all is now "flowing" so it's back to building. Today I fabricated the left interior above door filler panel and welded into
place 3 tabs to secure it. This followed the usual process of making a cardboard template and then cutting the aluminium to match. I also fabricated a panel to cover the rear spar carry through. This was bent to fit into the channel that carries the back edge of the window and its rear edge will form the support for the roof lining for the baggage compartment. Two tabs secure the panel at the front. There are still another five to add to the rear spar carry through at the rear. The combination of the roof lining , the rear spar cover and the interior above door panels will allow me to run the cables and pitot tubing to the wings invisibly and keep things neat and tidy.
