Brief Description: Joined the Front and Rear fuselage
Very slow day today, I cleaned up the garage, vacumed and put tools away before getting into joining the two fuselage halves together. The manual suggests marking a line down the center of the bench using a chalk line to ensure that the two halves are square etc. This is a little bit of an impossibility given that my bench is 12 feet long and the fuse must be at lease 14 feet at this stage. I just butted the two sections together, measured the centers to ensure that the lines I had drawn were correct and back drilled and clecoed. The center wing spar box gets installed next. But before I do that I need to drill the front fuselage section holes out to their coirrect size, and recover my #40 clecoes.
