Brief Description:  Forward Skin Drill out, Upper Longeron Doubler

Drilled out the forward fuselage skin to the upper longeron and updrilled to final rivet size - the final step for the forward side skins (besides riveting).

Completed cleanup and reassembly of the baggage area to set the upper longeron spacing accurately, then began sizing the upper longeron doublers. These doublers attach to the top of the upper longeron. They serve as a straight-line structure down the inside of the upper longeron while following the outer curve of the upper longeron. This makes for a clean finish to the top of the longeron in the cockpit and serves as a flat, straight line for the canopy to rest on.
