Fabbed the side vents.
| We need to fab two F-793 angles, which attach the side vents. I found this little plastic cup to mark the radius that we need to cut. Notice, I got out the full-size plans to measure this. Now, to figure out how to cut the radius. |
| The initial cut was done on the 1" belt sander and finished with the drum sander. |
| That's close enough for me. |
| Drilling F-793 to the SV-2 and SV-5 vent outlet and adapter. And, yes, I figured out that the bracket is backwards. Don't do this, things won't fit. |
| Ok, this is the correct way to drill F-793 to SV-2 and SV-5. |
| Now, to fit the vent assy to the fuse side and the panel. Note, it does not fit. Looks like the panel flange needs to be trimmed--or does it? |
| Actually, if you attach it like this, it fits, but that is ugly. Looks like I'd better look at the plans. Ok, plans say to trim the inside lower corner of SV-2 and SV-5 to fit. |
| When you're done, the left vent assy should look something like this. |
| Installed. |
| Another angle. |
| Using the holes in the fuselage, drill the rivet holes in the F-793 angle. One side done, now repeat for the right side--minus the mistakes, of course. |
| Right vent, same as the left, only opposite. |
| Installed (not permanently, still need to rivet F-793 to the fuse). |
