Forward Fuselage Prep
I drilled two 3/4" holes in the left side skin for the grommets that will pass the pitot and AOA tubes in from the wing.
The side support doubler is riveted onto the side skins using the holes adjacent to the spar cutout (with the exception of the bottom-most forward hole since this also joins the forward bottom skin.
I also drilled a couple of #19 holes to mount the quick disconnect fittings that are provided with the SafeAir pitot/static system. As you can see, I've also installed the grommets for the pitot/AOA lines.
I also installed the grommet for the fuel line in the side skin forward of the spar cutout.
Finally, I installed the forward bottom skin. I still need to finish the right side skin (seen in the upper left of this picture leaning against the back wall of the garage), but I'll take care of that tomorrow.
