Brief Description: Joining Forward and Aft Fuselage
Up drilled all of the side skin holes between the forward and aft fuselage sections and riveted the two sections together. Also step drilled all of the longeron splice plates up to 3/16ths and installed all of the bolts; a total of 16 holes. Bolted all of it together and it is very solid.
I did have to "persuade" a couple of the splice plates into alignment, but everything is still square and plumb.
