Brief Description:  Mid Fuse Structure - Finishing

Gusset installation and final drilling, rear bulkhead final drilling to the seat ribs, final drilling of the 1/8" rivet holes in the arm rests to bulkhead.

Then it was on to joining the forward fuse sub-structure with the center section / seat rib subassembly - major visual progress in joining up the 3 big fuselage structures I have been working on to this point.

Then it was on to the forward side skins (F-820-L/R-1) they were edged and smoothed and then clecoed in place - covering the forward section from firewall to center section. Minor things were then clecoed on, such as the skin stiffeners on each side forward, and the consoles assemblies as well.

Next it is on to the tailcone bulkheads as I am sitting with a fairly large section of airplane that goes from the firewall back to where Teresa will be sitting...well, at this point it is only a shell, but it still looks pretty cool sitting in the garage!
