Brief Description: Fuselage, Rear Cargo and Forward Fuselage
Today, Julien finished riveting the Rear Cargo Bulkhead in Place. We still have some gussets to add in the back, but it is effectively complete. I left blue tape over where future hinges/latches would go and didn't rivet those parts in case I change my mind and add the door.
Next, we began work on the forward fuselage. In involved drilling additional holes into the tapered channels, FUS 340. Then, they were match drilled to a long 1.5x1.5 angle and finally, the engine mount pieces were slipped inside the assembly. This all went very smooth and I did most of the drilling on the drill press. The assemblies were attached to the shear webs (front outer) and made to be even on the upper horizontal plane of the front carry throughs. I used my level clamped perpendicular to the carrythrough's to do this.
