Got some help and moral support today in the shop.

Cindy came out and gave me a hand from the inside of the plane when drilling.

Time to drill the F-652 upper baggage panel to the F-706 bulkhead.

It looks simple but there's quite a bit of measuring that is involved in this as the upper bulkhead has to be positioned nicely with an overlap at the top of the lower baggage bulkhead.

 

Took it appart couple of times to ensure the overlap with bulkhead and F-706 has enough edge distance. (no worries, there's plenty, but as I made some stupids mistakes in a row lately, better be safe than sorry)

Here's how it looks with all holes drilled.

Intalled both and drilled the lower row on the upper baggage cover.
