Got some work done on the plane, late today.
Most of day spent getting a large tool chest for daughter's/son's dog grooming business (I'm the only one with a truck) and another 3 hours changing oil and detailing out daughter's car.
==========================
Engine compartment (cont).
Making a weight box.
Made a cardboard template for testing. Had to shorten the length by an inch.
Two steel L brackets will secure the weight box to the fire wall.
Looks like enough clearance to make an inch thick weight box.
Used template to cut some 1/8" thick aircraft ply.
Some 1/4" thick baltic birch ply cut for the sides one inch high.
Removable top cover made.
Dry fit on fire wall.
About a 1/4" clearance to the cowl.
Some front doors cut out of 1/8" thick aircraft ply.
