Some countersinking

1 hour
This morning, I countersunk the F-631A channels. No pics, since this isn’t a very interesting thing, but the process was pretty cool. I set everything up assembly-line style, by putting the countersink cage in the floor-standing drill press and building a fence with a pilot hole out of wood. I gave each hole a swipe with the Boelube stick and was able to knock out all 4 channels. Now I get to deburr the insides of the channels, prime them, and rivet them together. Then I have to figure out the whole attachment to the fuselage. That, friends and neighbors, is going to be interesting.
At some point, I WILL be able to paint the interior, but it looks like Terminator 4 is about to start stealing my weekends from me, so I might slow down on the plane for a bit, but not before I get the roll bar done.
