Brief Description:  Forward fuse structure - radius washers

I started off by going back to section 8-6 and riveting the back side of the L.G. box assembly to the forward floor. I had skipped that step while I decided on the best way to rivet these parts. I ended up sitting it up on it's side and riveting it easily. As per plans, I only riveted the back side - the front side is riveted later.

Next, I worked on the forward fuse structure parts that were just primed. Riveting the platenuts on the misc. parts and riveting the stiffeners to the bottom of the baggage compartment floor.

I also radiused 8 washers that will bolt the braces to the L.G. box assemblies. The plans have you radius the washers so that they will fit flush against the curved angles in the L.G. boxes. They also say to prime the washers so I did that too.
