Brief Description:  Upper Engine Mounts and Longerons

Re-clecoed the cabin floor to the gear channel then put the fuselage up on top of steel beams. Began the leveling process to make sure the aft fuselage, cabin, and firewall are all level both fore-and-aft as well as side-to-side. I'll spend some more time on this in my next session.

Performed initial fitting of the upper engine mounts. This involved trimming a flange on each of the steel engine mounts so they could fit cleanly inside the rear firewall reinforcement. Then I drilled through what will eventually be each engine mount bolt hole with a pilot hole-sized drill bit and clecoed the engine mounts in place. After that I clamped the upper front longerons to the upper engine mounts in the front and the to upper rear longerons behind the cabin.
