Fuselage Parts Manufacturing
Construction Time 52.00 hours
Date Description Date Assembly
01.09.04 Made some parts for nose gear (6F10-1,3 and 4) 2.25 Fwd fuse
01.08.17 Formed firewall stiffeners using Jean-Luc's bending brake 1.00 Fwd fuse
01.08.14 Cut forward fuselage parts. 2.00 Fwd fuse
01.05.10 Formed boarding step fairing (under fuselage). 1.25 Rear Fuselage
01.03.01 Formed the firewall 2.00 Fwd fuse
01.02.28 Cut the form bloc for the firewall.  I was symmetric, but not perfectly dimentioned… I looked at the difference with Fernand's form bloc and found that it was problematic only in one location.  I corrected his form bloc by applying layers of duct tape where required.  I then recut the flange of my galvanized steel sheet to have a 18mm flange as per the plans (so I don't need to replace it).  I drilled the engine mount attachment holes of the galvanized sheet (to 1/4" for now).. 2.75 Fwd fuse
01.02.27 I noticed that the forming bloc for the firewall was not symmetric.  I decided to make a new forming bloc.  So, I drew a new half contour on a sheet of aluminium.  I will then transfer that on a plywood. 2.00 Fwd fuse
01.02.26 Formed forward fuselage upper longerons.  Cut the firewall 2.50 Fwd fuse
01.02.25 Started to form the forward fuselage upper longerons 2.00 Fwd fuse
01.02.24 Made forward fuselage side skins 2.00 Fwd fuse
01.02.22 Made rear fuselage side skins 2.25 Rear Fuselage
01.01.04 Worked on pedals 2.25 Fwd fuse
01.01.02  I started to cut and jig one of the two pedals. I will follow Angelo Ferraro's design (see Other Projects on my web-site). 2.50 Fwd fuse
00.10.08 Made 6F3-1 and 6F3-6 ( also tried to remake rudder horn, but I cannot bend the flange on my bending brake). 3.00 Rear Fuselage
00.09.27 Made parts 6F3-2A and 6F3-2B.  Tried to make 6F3-1 first, but I did not bend at the proper place (most probably have to redo it) 2.50 Rear Fuselage
00.09.24 Made bulkhead B4 2.00 Rear Fuselage
99.10.27 Made part 6F11-2. 1.50 Rear Fuselage
99.10.26 Finished part 6F2-1 (made lightening hole).  Made part 6F11-1. 2.00 Rear Fuselage
99.09.18 Made various parts (mostly fuselage parts).  I cut all 0.032 and 0.040 pieces.  I decided to make a new 6V4-2 out of 0.040 (I did'nt have the proper length of 0.032). I also made a 6F11-1… I don't really like the quality of it. 9.00 Fuselage
99.09.16 Made fuselage parts (couple finished, most just cut) and some center wing parts out of 0.025". I stopped because I ran out of 0.025" 2.50 Fuselage
99.08.25 Cut all fuselage parts made of 0.032.  I also tried to form 6F1-6… I don't know if it is good.  I am simply unable to make a straight bend with the bending brake I have.  I lost quite a bit of time trying to fix this stiffener. 2.75 Fuselage
