F26-01L Left Hand Aft Side Panel Skin.
I marked on the skin the location and shape of two holes. These are the access 4" hole and the rudder cable hole/slot. These are not done as part of the kit. I used a drill to create starter holes. For the rudder cable hole I used the cut off wheel to cut the rough length shape. I then used files to finish the hole/slot. For the access hole I first used the cut off wheel to create a large access area, Then I used the nibbler to get the rough shape. I then used a file to finish the shape. I also used the small scotch brite wheel to smooth out and finish the hole. I used the Harbor Freight bending brake to bend the 14 degree bend at the forward end of the skin.

F26-02L Left Hand Upper Longeron.
I used the hack saw to cut the forward end to the one angled cut per the plans. Using the hack saw I cut the other end to the total length per the plans. I used files and the small scotch brite wheel on the die grinder to smooth and debur the cut ends.
