All,
What advice do you have about working on the cabin forward skins / top skin
without having an engine mount.
The Photo Assembly guide suggests not to drill any holes in the upper
engine/cabin frame mount until I have an engine mount. What have others done at
this stage, or did all of you have your engine mount already?

Watch those step drills guys. Because there is only one flute the hole is constantly
off center and rotating (moving) around where you originally center drilled
it. If the exact hole position is important stop a little short of final dia.
and see what you're off by. If its not acceptable, just work one side of the
hole with your tool of choice.(vargus Burbit) I have not seen a 2 fluted step
drill yet. If I do I'll buy it.......Geoff

flight. I love it. Congratulations Phil. Exciting days ahead. Hope to be flying
with you late spring......Geoff

mount
My 10c is to decide on an engine and install the Mount asap. I bought the mount
only from Zenith and fitted it. Over a year later I ordered the Engine from lockwood
and the FWF package from Zenith. Its easier to fit it sooner than later...Geoff

All of my step drills are the two flute kind and don't wander too bad..
But, I ALWAYS drill a #20 pilot hole exactly where I want it to be and t
hen enlargen it with the step drill. Even doing that it might wander a l
ittle so watch it closely.
do not archive

Hey Ben. I guess I have to pay more attention. I'll see if I can find a couple
this weekend. I usually start out with a #1 or #2 center drill...Geoff

mount
I approached it the same way as Geoff--decided on the engine, bought just the mount,
and kept on going. If push comes to shove and you change your mind on the
engine later you can swap out the mount then. Having a mount definitely helps
keep your momentum up as you're working on the fwd fuselage.
