More work on the F-711C bars and the F-711 Bulkhead - 2 hours

I wrestled with the idea of cutting down the horizontal attach bars. Of course on the RV7 they are not cut down, but the plans call for it on the 7A. I see on some 7A build logs not everyone cuts them down and I suspect to maximize strength. In the end I decided to cut down them down to shape to save the weight. Everyone complains about the tail being heavy, nobody complains about this area being weak.

All cut, finished on both the sanding station and the 3M station.

Next, I went to work with the files on the F-711 bulkhead opening.
