Brief Description:  

Thanks to Brad Simmons and Justin Hawkins, today I have a way forward, despite the absence of scribe marks. Best procedure is to go ahead and mount the vertical stabilizer, in its final place, with clecos only. First step in that is leveling the fuselage, lining it up on a centerline, then placing the sternpost, checking for alignment on the centerline. That requires a sternpost, which I made today, and temporarily clamped in place. After placing a plumb line on the center of the sternpost, it appears that I'm only about one-half inch off centerline, which is easily fixed. Tomorrow.

Also today, I continued stripping peel-ply from the upper fuselage, and finally killed the heat gun. More of the fun task tomorrow.
