Fuselage June 2006 Updates June 10, 2006 Deburring & Dimpling..... - 3.0 hrs Now that the fuse is all torn apart I deburred all holes in the aft fuse section at the 705 bulkhead intersection. There are 2 rows of holes. One line of holes were predrilled by Vans and the other row gets match drilled by the side and bottom skins. Once these were deburred I used the pnumatic squeezer to dimple. Next I moved on to countersinking the longerons. Not difficult but kind of boring. At about half way thru one side I had to stop. Way too freakin hot. Didn't drink enough water! This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
