Brief Description:  Began final fit of lower aft skin

Started to drill in lower aft skin. Rechecked all alignment strings on fixture and noted that wood supports had drifted in the last couple of weeks. Installed a gusset on the aft post to pull it straight again. (It is very helpful to leave the alignment stings in place so you can see any misalignment that creeps in.) Test fit skin an did some final bending to get the skin to lay a bit better on the bulkhead without forcing it down. (note when bending the skin...resist the desire to just grab it and hand bend an area that is slightly underbent without using the clamp-up and roll method. Any hand bending will just immediately kink the skin. The kink can be worked out a bit, but there goes my "perfect" plane)
weighted a piece of wood on top to hold the skin tight and flat, and started to back drill in the attach holes
