Brief Description:  Center fuselage prep

This session was primarily devoted to preparing the skin for riveting. After removing the necessary blue plastic, and deburring every hole, I dimpled as much as possible on the c-frame dimpler. There were about 8 holes that I couldn't reach with the c-frame, so I elected to "free hand" using a block of wood and part of the c-frame tool. It worked ok, but I'm glad it was only a few holes.

After dimpling, I ran a vixen file over the edges of the skin, then did some quick plans study to make sure everything was ready to go. I clecoed the seat ribs in place and will be ready to rivet/bolt them on permanently during the next session.
