Brief Description:  Center Section

Plans:
1. Continue center section fabrication.
Status: About 80% done. I completed the hand hold area and added the scallops to the trailing edge. The scallops were formed using the 14" bending jig. Each end was inserted into the slot at the T.E. and peened over. I found that there was some wiggle in the connection so I also added some J-B Weld to the joint to stiffen things up. It looks great.
The supports that stiffen the end airfoils were added but I encountered a problem. After having riveted the supports I found that the compression strut had rotated slightly. That means that the assembly alignment for reinstallation is wrong now. So I will need to rework this and redo the riveting with the C.W. installed.
