With the wings finished, it\u00a0was now time to begin building the fuselage. I spent some time saturday and sunday going through the fuselage parts and\u00a0digging out the parts for the firewall assembly, which is the first of the fuselage to build. I also aranged all the hardware, like rivets and screws in my storage cabinet<\/a>. Here is most of the firewall parts laid out:
\n\"firewall-001-400x\"<\/p>\n

The first thing to manufacture\u00a0was these sturdy reinforcement brackets, made from some extrusion. I trimmed them to size using my small pneumatic angle grinder, with a thin cutting wheel. A bandsaw would have been better, but since I don’t have one, the grinder had to do. After all, it’s better then the hacksaw. \ud83d\ude09 After some finetuning with a file, the scotchwheel and the Roloc grinder, they came out quite nice.

Next was easy, these small spacers only had to be edge smoothened, then matchdrilled to some stiffeners.

\"firewall-004-400x\"<\/p>\n

Here the reinforcement brackets has been installed and matchdrilled.

Most parts for the firewall are ready now…
