So another little project that is long overdue.
Since I am not the original owner of my fuselage, the waterline was already marked (sure hope its right...). But, from an ongoing perspective of being able to level the fuselage when needed a simple jig of aluminum angle gets drilled into the doorframe so it can be clecoed in when needed. Just pull back the door seal, and cleco it in.
Been meaning to get this done for ages. I have been leveling everything with my digital level off the marks on the fuselage... but with all the body work I have had to do, the line is getting faint :-)
The angle that I am using has been used many times... for clamping / gluing the trailing edge of the elevator, ailerons, flaps, and even cove skins. But, its long enough that I can line up the waterlines, trim and drill (and then mark very carefully where everything goes, and hopefully I dont lose it!). It is definitely going to need some cleanup...
Initial placement.
Done...
