NACA Vent
While working on the heating system installing screw plates which will hold everything together, I found the nose lift cover I made would not come out with the duct system installed.
This is intolerable as I would hate to have to take the heating system appart just to service the nose lift. I ended up splitting the cover to make servicing easier. It is now been cut and re-glassed. Tomorrow, I’ll install the nut plates to hold it together.
I also took appart the control linkage system in order to install the new NACA duct system for cabin presurization and ventilation. I had to get access to the area so the tubes had to go….
I plan to try and install the entire NACA duct from the inside of the plane to eliminate the filling and re-contouring of the outside of the plane. This is going to be a challenge! The ice pick is a locator which indicates where to mark and cut the outside of the plane.
Total time worked today 2.6 hrs.
