I have been stuck at work quite a bit lately, as a result I have made very little progress on the plane over the last month. I finally got some work in today.
Since I didn't have anyone around (or the time) to help me fit the wings so I could drill the gear, I decided to jump ahead a bit. I started fitting, drilling, and trimming the seat pans. This probably worked out better than waiting until the bottom skin was on anyway. Once the skin is riveted in place, access would be very limited. Also, I would rather work over my head than bent over the side of the fuselage straining my back. All that is left is to fit and drill the left forward pan section, and the center section. I am still trying to decide if I want to make these removable or just stick with the plans and blind-rivet them in place.
I used a bit of angle to keep the rib straight while I drilled.
The aft section of the seat pans.
Right forward section in place and cutout made for the control stick.
