Gotta start next week on the SB mods and have a couple of quick questions.
1) can the mods be done as two separate steps-- i.e, do the fuselage doublers with the airplane on the gear, and then do the gear one side at a time with the wings on. I normally jack up one wheel, support the wing and fuselage, and pull the wheel. Replace it and do the other side. Seems like this should work for the gear mod but?????
2) Is it
possible to match drill the doublers with the tank in place-- I'm thinking slide a piece of plywood or thicker aluminum between the skin and the tank? Haven't checked clearance.
3) I know I need to order the countersink but I've seen mention of a "special" 1/4" bit. Do I need one of the long 12" bits?
THANKS!!!!
