Brief Description:  Begin Drilling Longerons to Skin

Leveled the fuselage using the F-704 bulkhead for left and right and longerons in aft fuselage for fore/aft. Once fuselage was level and supported well, I clamped longerons to skin ensuring the longeron was flush with top of skin all around. Used clamps about a foot apart down both sides. Began drilling at the aft end per plans. Used lots of Boelube and drilled in groups of three holes at a time, cleco each hole as drilled, skipped three, drilled three more. Did about a dozen on left side then switched and did the same on right side. Continued this process, drilling groups and alternating sides, up to F-704 bulkhead.
