Redo F713 aux longerons and F7101 gear attach web - 11/03/2015

It's been a rough ride the last couple of weeks which prevented me from continuing on the plane.

As you may have noticed in the last articles, there was a lot of 'redo' and 'remake' in my blog. This was a clear indication that I needed a break and some weeks away from the project.

So now we are March and it's time to pickup where we left of

I had to reorder the F7101's and F713's after a mess up as you can read in the previous articles.

Today drilled the F713 on the right side and the lower row of holes on the F7101.
 F7101 mates much better now from the start and still sufficient edge distance on the longeron.
