Skid plate

Started today preparing the parts of the skid plate by cutting and deburring as per instructions. The tail skid bracket was fabricated and hole tapped as required. The skid plate was then assembled as per instructions. Several different rivets were used, so careful attention was required to make sure the proper rivet went in the proper place.

We attempted to fit the skid plate to the stabilator. It was difficult getting the washers in place and ran out of time, so that will have to wait until the next time.

Time: 3.25 hrs
