Lots and lots of prep work, have a list to go through. Drilled the holes in the bottom of the fuselage centre skin to make way for the flap rod, also enlarged the holes in the corner ribs. Fitted and torqued the bolts which go through the seat ribs to the centre section aft bulkhead (only did the tops as once the centre section and forward section skins are joined then I can fit the bottom bolts, as I wouldn't be able to get a bucking bar in to set the rivets with the bolts in the way), marked all the bolts with a paint marker so I know which ones I have done. Riveted the side seat ribs to the botom skin. Drilled all the holes for platenut attach and baggage rib attach in the rear fuselage, this is all ready to go. All relevant holes are deburred and dimpled on the centre fuselage, this is a go. Countersunk the 2 x longerons, scotchbrite, deoxidine, alodine and prime. Also primed the front bottom skin.
