Rear instrument panel/cabanes

7.0

fuselage

DETAIL:

I started working on the rear instrument panel and rear cabanes this week.  Using some 1/4" Home Depot plywood (moisture resistant) I cut the two panels for the rear instrument pod.  I then sheeted it with 1/16" birch aircraft ply.  The tricky part was cutting the sheeting away where the rear cabane would come through.  I managed to get no more than a 1/8" gap all the way around the cabanes.

I also drilled the top fuse longerons for the cabane flange brackets.
