No work was possible yesterday as it was too rainy to get the fuselage out of the workshop to work on it. The weather was somewhat better today so the first job was to layout the various components pictured in the previous entry on the firewall and mark their positions. Then, the rest of the day was spent removing the engine, gear, engine mount, firewall,and all of the baggage compartment structure. The fuselage is now stripped right back to the welded frame ready for sand blasting and painting after any additional firewall supports are welded into place.
The firewall itself will be drilled as required and then the exact locations of the supporting structure can be established.
