| Firewall, Pedals, Fuselage Corner Pieces | |
 |
Installed one of the
brake cylinders today. There's a few more holes I need to drill before I
can install the rest of the pedals. Once again I don't have the tools to
do it. I just need a small vice that I can use on the drill press.
The good thing about building an airplane is your tool collection will grow and grow! I built my S-10 in my dad's garage and he has every tool known to man. Since I live in Michigan now, I'm slowly growing my own tool collection. |

Here the firewall is held by clamps while I drill and cleco the holes. |

This piece is an
aluminum 'triangle' that curves around the bottom to give the plane its
shape on the bottom front. It is fitted, but notice I still need to trim
the front of it to be even with the fuselage frame.
The blue tape you see on the fuselage is simply to prevent scratching the paint while working. |

This is the main reservoir for the hydraulic brakes. It's mounted on the outside of the firewall and the hose will go through the firewall to the inside. |
