To facilitate handling of the fuselage when flipping upside down on the jig, the structure was clecoed from the inside. Today, in preparation for riveting, the clecos were moved from the inside to the outside. Some additional cross members were also removed from the jig frame to make it easier to move about under the fuselage.
In the next shop session I will be marking the holes to be riveted with called out rivet sizes and actually begin the riveting process with the forward side skins. Most of the fuselage riveting will require Connie's help. Hopefully, the majority of the skin riveting can be done with the structure upside down. However, I expect some of the rivets will be more easily accessed with the fuselage upright and positioned a bit lower.
