Brief Description:  Front seat support frame

Today's job was the final few bits and pieces before flipping the fuselage over to fit the gear legs. And I almost got it doen too. A slight foray to the shops (more money!) and a couplf of hours fitting a new TV aerial to the roof of the house slowed things up: and I still don't get a good view of TV1 or TV2. I think the cable is seriously old and needs replacing too; a job for another day. As you might guess, TV is not that important to me, but it is to 'her' so I'll probably have to deal with it sooner than later :-)

Anyway, I got the front seat back support frame mounting plates riveted to the bulkheads, which went a lot smoother than expected. Then I had a minor battle getting the frame to actually fit in just right, which I'm pleased to announce I eventually won! Some bolts, screws and rivets later and the frame is done. It really stiffens up the whole structure and when I stand back and look at it I really feel like I now have a fuselage and I'm making some good progress! Good for the motivation :-) Won't get a whole lot done over the next week though: remember that exam last Friday I was busting my balls for last week? Yeah, well its *this* Friday; DOH!! :-)
