Brief Description:  Join forward and aft fuselage

Reorganized space in the shop so I had room to join the fore/aft fuselage sections.

Mounted the landing gear with the forward fuselage on its side, all bolts installed but secured for now with 4 bolts. Righted the forward fuselage and aligned it with the aft section. Slowly pushed the two sections together and inserted clecos to hold things in alignment.

Updrilled a few -3 holes at the fuselage joint, inserted, torqued and used torque seal on the AN525 screws. Installed the -44 and -46 rivets. The fore and aft sections are now permanently joined.

Lubricated the wheel bearings and installed the main gear wheels. This will allow me to move the fuselage around the shop as needed.
