Again, not much work being done on the project lately. I’ve been concentrating some time and effort getting the Timberhawk Kids plane that I’ve been working on ready for the air show.
I managed to get a few hours of work in on the RV as I fitted the seat pans/floors to the centre section assembly. I need to get to match drilling the floors to the centre section ribs.
After everything was fit up, I managed to drill the mounting holes for the seat belt crotch strap to #40.
I wasn’t very happy with the alignment...The top most holes weren't aligned as well as I would like. The top of the crotch strap brackets have a little give to them. A little head scratching and I decided to move the hole so that it would be better aligned to the adjacent hole. I was only about 1/16” or so out, enough that it bugged me, but it was easily moved As I used a very small round file and began enlarging the hole in the direction I wanted. Took a little time but eventually it was centred and I could ream it to #19.

That’s enough for the day.
