Busy night. I cut the tabs off of the F-820 side skins and then ran them across my ScothBrite wheel. Then I drilled the vent hole to 7/16". I riveted the right landing gear box together except for the bottom 2/3 of the F-802C landing gear box web.
The spacers that go on the outside of the weldments didn't fit very well next to the auxiliary longeron. I drilled out the keeper rivets and trimmed the spacers for a better fit. I cleaned them up and re-installed the keeper rivets.
I then machine countersunk along the bottom longerons except in the middle area. Before going any further I decided to put all of the gussets in place to help me understand how it all goes together.
