Brief Description:  Break down fuselage, finish list of items and begi

Today I began to systematically break down the fuselage into it's individual parts. Along the way, I needed to do some of the items I did not do during assembly. I pulled to forward skin away from the forward frame to match drill the F-684 gussets and the F-719 lower longeron assemblies. Once this was done, I took the rest of the fuse apart. Now it looks like it did several weeks ago. I began to label the parts and remove the blue protective plastic from the parts. I also deburred the holes on many of the smaller parts and dimpled the holes for the plate nuts. I will deburr the edges on the parts before I dimple the rest. I have to re-read each part of the manual and look at the plans for each part to make sure there is nothing I am missing. Sometime the manual will not point out a hole to be enlarged or some other thing that the plans show. Carefully doing this with each part, I should have no suprises on the re-assembly. There are a lot fo parts on the center section and the tail section that need to be fitted with platenuts, dimpled, and countersunk. This is a tedious job, but needs to be done right. One good thing about this is I can watch a movie in the background wihile it work, sitting and the bench. It's actually very relaxing.....
