The day begins with the drilling of two openings for the gear legs on the lower forward skin. There is a template in the plans which has to be drawn on the skin.



Then I installed the gear leg support on, here is a picture from inside. This will provide for some intersting work when installing the bolts during final assembly.



After a few tries, the openings are done to size, here is the result.



To strenghten the forward fuselage, some auxiliary longerons and bulkheads are to be installed. The first longeron gets installed diagonally, it has to be cut to correct length and the bakdrilled through the skin.



The next longerons get installed with the help of small clips. The clips are cut from aluminium angle, and all the sides have to be worked on, either cut or drilled.
