Brief Description: Framing forward Fuselage and fitting aft skin
I started working with the parts on the forward fuselage so I could mount the bell crank for the push pull system. In the grand scheme of things, this is a good time to start this and the other internal fuselage assemblies. I will work on this until it is ready for skinning, but will leave the skin off until much later. I also wanted to fit the skin on the top of the fuselage turtle deck and mount the skin braces. These are the last of the major skins and I can see how things need to go with them temporarily in place. I need to decide if I should go with an access panel or use swing down plates for equipment behind the panel. I spent some time fitting up the middle rib; canopy support angle and the skin to make sure it is all in proper alignment. Then I back drilled the center forward deck rib to the skin and the firewall.
