Working the F-711C bar (again) and working on the F-711 bulkhead - 3 hours

The replacement AB4-187x1 1/4 arrived so I can remake the F-711C horizontal stabilizer attach bar. Fortunately I have one completed and ready to go so it makes things very quick to so the second. I measured everything out. Placed the correct piece overtop and used the palm drill to provide pilot holes for the bottom most hole and top two attach holes. Before completing the holes in the drill press I verified the measurements of the holes.


Looking great, so I finished the holes in the drill press. Next I then cleco'd the attach bar to the F-711 bulkhead and transfer the holes. Then I completed those holes on the drill press.

Then I marked the space that is cut out on the F-711 bulkhead and cut it on the band saw.

I will have to finish these off with a file.
