I spent about two hours Sunday cleaning up most of the firewall and then applying corrosion protections. The landing fork section still needs to be drilled to size.

One major problem is the lack of A5 clecos. Make sure you have at least 100 of them.

I have finally started drilling out the holes in the firewall. These have been A3 size since the initial assembly just in case I needed to adjust something when working on the rest of the fuselage.

Today I noticed a small amount of corrosion around one of the clecos on the firewall, so it was decided to drill everything out, deburr, acid etch, scotchbrite and then zinc as soon as possible.

All of the holes ( save the engine mount bolt holes ) that lay in the horizontal plane are drilled.
