Fuse Air Vent
Hours this entry: 2I got a new CNC cutter which I will use to redo my panel, but I figured I would try out a couple other items on it before doing the panel. The first item was a double for the Fresh Air NACA vent. I scanned it, traced it in the CAD program and then cut it out of some scrap 0.20. First perfect..
Fitting into the fuse, with the first few holes drilled:

Final fit, cleco’d in the fuse:
Rudder Cables, Fuel lines, Turtle Deck, misc fuse
Hours this entry: 7Finished up the fuel lines, including both the left and right sides, and putting the inline fuel filter in. I’ll also have a gascolator, so this summit filter is 40 micron and will catch most before hitting the boost pump.
Overview
Right side:
I also worked on installing the Rudder pedals, opening up the holes in the carry through for the snap bushings, installing the cable guides and all bushings along with the cables to the rear of the fuselage.
Other misc work:
Drilled the holes for the pitot static ports in the rear of the fuselage.
Additionally, I had fitted the turtle deck and matched drilled all the holes with the fuselage and formers.
