Attaching Skybolt attachment brackets
3h
March 12, 2026
Today I worked on drilling Skybolt attachment brackets.
I want to attach engine cowlings with piano hinges and pins everywhere except the top of the firewall. In that location, I want to use Skybolts.
Since I don't have a finishing kit, I estimated the location of the attachment brackets with other builders. I used two fewer attachments, however. I checked the location of my brackets against a few build logs, and I think my brackets are in correct locations. It looks like these two extra brackets would be used if I put them at the split line. However, since I have a piano hinge coming up there, there is no space for the brackets.
Also, I printed the STEP file provided by EarthX support, and it fit into my battery boxes!
