Cabin Top Prep

Not a whole ton of work on the plane today, but what wasn't accomplished physically was certainly made up for by overcoming the mental hurdle of transitioning to fiberglass work... today marks the first day of Section 43 - Cabin Cover!

Although no actual "fiberglass" work started yet, we did rearrange the shop a bit and perform the first few steps in the section, including marking 7 spots on each of the mid cabin decks, and marking off all the scribe lines on the cabin cover itself. I now see what people are talking about when they say the scribe lines aren't really all that great-- they're definitely not very straight and I think they only give the general idea of what needs to be cut!

Marks on the mid cabin decks for eventually match-drilling the cabin cover screw holes

Traced the scribe lines with a blue Sharpie to denote the first cut lines


An interesting step cut that will have to be made

Not all the scribe lines were very straight!

So that's pretty much it for today, but tomorrow we should be able to actually start cutting and sanding this thing.... eeek!!!!
