Brief Description:  Bent forward fuse skins and started on support str

This morning I completed the fuse skin bends by bending the forward skins. Again, not really any problems as long as you follow Van's methods. One thing I will reinforce is that you will get creases where you put the vice clamps doing the forward skins. Be very carefull and try not to be tempted to use those clamps to role the skin. I had about 3 small creases on each skin and used a dolly and hammer to get them out. I also started on the underlying structure that supports the forward skins. It took me a few minutes of staring to figure out how to put in the F1088 ribs. Where the F1002 bulkhead sits on the F1041 channel there is actually a hole right next to it which would appear to be where it attaches. If you look closely at the diagrams, it actually sits just to the forward side of it so basically it will get match drilled later. It would help if the drawings were actually clearer. The flanges don't even go the right way in the drawings.
