Brief Description:  Removed wings, added nutplates for bottom skin, fi

After I pulled the wings off the fuselage I still had to install 11 nutplates (1st picture) on each bottom wing skin to attach with screws to the bottome fuselage skin (2nd picture). Then I drilled and dimpled the bottom fuselage skin (2nd picture) on each side of the fuselage. Finally, I rivited the forward wing attach angles and and bolted the bracket onto the fuselage. It doesn't look like much work but it took 2 hours to rmove the wings, 2 hours to reposition the fusleage in the shop and rearrange work benches etc., and 6 hours to do the rest.
