Brief Description:  Left & Right Fuselage Stiffeners

Continued work beefing up the front of the fuselage. Today I finished off the left side by:

1. Adding in a gusset that connects the curved L-angle to the heel support
2. Adding a rolled gusset that connects the side skin to the heel support
3. adding in a diagonal Z-angle to stiffen the skin between the main spar and the curved L-angle.

After updrilling the left side to final rivet size (to collect more pilot hole-sized clecoes) I moved over to the right side and installed the curved L-angle and all three L-angles that connect the curved L-angle to the firewall.
