Dad continued with the throttle bracket mock up. This is just AL but the final version will have to be from steel or stainless steel |
|
Normal deal, scrap, CAD drawing, shape, drill, de-burr. |
|
Bend - precision stuff - with a big hammer. |
|
The result - works OK, howver the two cables can be slightly closer to each other and the 'length' of the bent part needs extending to provide clearance of the sump for the cables. The CAD drawing modified and we'll wait for the right materials and final bowden push/pull cables. |
|
I continued with the cowl mating to each other and the fuselage - all day. Slow iterative process, mount, mark, trim, repeat. |
|
I got the top cowl to an OK state and then taped it down tightly and drilled a couple more cleco locations. |
|
Also moved onto the lower cowl - same deal slow progress. |
