Brief Description:  Forward Fuselage

After pre-mature riviting at Christmas, I had to drill out the back luggage compartment,to finally have access again to the rear fuselage. The rear fuselage stiffeners could finally be installed. They really help making the cells more rigid and hopefully help reduce oil-canning.

I started the forward fuselage and wait until riveting the luggage compartment and will be more careful holding back on riveting things pre-maturely. In order to put the controls in I have to attach the front to the rear fuselage.

After a bit a lenthy debate on which seat, seat rail, and set belt attachment location, things have all been sorted out and I am ready to deburr, rust protect and final assembly and riveting of the forward fuselage..
