Brief Description:  Final Fuse assembly - Mid Side Skins

Big steps - got a lot done today...but did have a lot of head scratching too. But here is what I accomplished :

1. Riveted the three nutplates to the F-806A Fuselage Bulkheads

2. Riveted the F-806A and F-805 Fuselage Bulkheads to the F-860B Mid Left Arm Rests, the F-860C Aft Arm Rests, and the F-860A Fwd Arm Rests.

3. Back riveted the Arm Rest Assemblies to the left and right F-823-1 Mid Side Skins (except for the Aft Arm Rests). I drilled out 3 rivets in this step, 2 of those re-do's were the same rivet!

4. Riveted the nutplates to the F-815C Outboard Seat Rib Angles

5. Clecoed the F-815C-1 Outboard Seat Rib Angle, F-804H-1 Center Section Side Plate, F-887-L-1 & -R-1 Upper Longerons and F-823-1 Mid Side Skin / Arm Rest Assemblies, to each side of the Center Section and Seat Rib Assemblies.

6. Then I riveted the five holes at the top end of the F-802C L. G. Box Webs to the F-887 Upper Longerons



Now that the upper longerons are just hanging off the back, I wonder how many times I will walk into them....so far, only once (already). I also need to get some ordering of parts and supplies done as I will be in need soon... landing gear, throttle quadrant, stuff like that.
