30-02: Baggage Bulkhead & Workshop Preparation for the BIG JOIN!

Chapter 30 stated by preparing the baggage bulkhead parts. These will need to be primed and ready to go for the big event - the tailcone to fuselage join! 

Seatbelt lugs chamfered on the edges, and countersunk for the dimples in the skin.

Workshop Updates

When we moved into this house, one of the criteria was a shed big enough to build an aeroplane. This house had a large shed, however the last owner had build a wall half way along and lined and carpeted the back end. The first thing i did was put in a sliding door between the 2 rooms, and i had done all of the empennage and wing construction in the back room. Which meant the wings, tailcone and empennage were entombed in the back room with no way to get them out! 

I was time to rectify this unacceptable situation, by cutting a big hole in the wall! 

Before!

No way the tail would fit through that door!

But will fit through this hole - no problems!
