Brief Description: Completed (almost) the fuselage
Ended up being a (almost) milestone day. Although I thought I was ready to install the last of the fuselage rivets (firewall forward), a final "walk through" revealed a couple of places that the fit wasn't just so. So making the final bends and fit checks took some time. Then, once started, two of the pulled rivet shanks fell under the foot rests and I learned that there was no way to retrieve them. That led to modifying the foot rests. Then, it was off to the races - only to discover I didn't have enough rivets (of the stainless steel variety) to finish the job. While waiting for the rivets to appear work on the turtle deck will begin.
