| Firewall and Landing Gear Box |
Fuselage has now been initially assembled using "clicos" (above). These handy spring-loaded
fasteners are placed in some of the predrilled holes to hold everything temporarily together. All holes
have been drilled to size and certain parts fitted together. It is now ready to be dismantled, every
hole de-burred, all outer skin holes dimpled and all edges of every part filed smooth. Then it will be
clicoed together again and the riveting process begins. You don't have to be half-crazy to do this,
but it does help.
