Brief Description:  Center fuselage construction

Tonight was a very productive session thanks to Beth! After I put rivets in all of the holes and taped over them to hold them in position, I started to rivet by myself. Position the bucking bar, double check the rivet, look at the bucking bar again...time consuming. So...time for father/daughter bonding! With Beth shooting and me bucking, we had the whole skin done in less than an hour--thank you Beth!!

After turning the structure over, I clecoed the seat and baggage skins in place to give the whole thing more support. After placing the outboard ribs in position, I drilled them out using the lower skin as a reference. Getting very close to joining the center fuselage with the aft fuselage!
