Alrighty 4 hours of gardening in 35o heat is stupid but its my Birthday tomorrow & want everything toi be neat & tidy so I can get drunk & relax. The year has started great & Im very happy with life in general. After my gardening I tydied up my work area(garage) & got back on the shuttle. I wanted the girl mounted & ready for parts application to begin. I am going about mine much like Mike Salzo as I have the same armature design but am watching Doug very closely cause turned out to be a bit of a magician.
The first pictures look good but she's just sitting there with no support other than resting on the waiste armature brace. The first problem to tackle was the belly hole for the armature pipe to sit through.
Scary stuff. The good ol hole saw on the drill did the trick with great relief & tension in the process.
Does the cockpit wall sit flush under the bottom/top of the roof section?
That being done was time to sort out the cockpit base try & figure out where the 6 odd shaped mount braces go... Anyone got that figured yet for sure
All good for now. Just gotta know where the brace parts go & I'll button her up. Oh yeah drill holes & thread wiring for lights aswell.
