Today was a long day it probably shouldn’t have been. I spent the first part of the day making a templates for the hinge cuts outs. This is fairly complicated especially for the center hinge. I did the initial cuts and then spent the rest of the time filing and fitting and filing and fitting. This went on for the better part 5 hours. I did make one mistake however, I mislabeled my template and cut the wrong side of the center hinge for the control arm cut out. I spent the rest of my time today making a filling blank out of spare leading edge material and then flush riveted it on. Its not perfect and will need some body filler to make it match perfectly.
