Brief Description: Center fuselage assembly - belly skin

Completed riveting of center fuselage belly skin as follows: 1. Prepped and primed center fuselage skins and associated parts. Touched up primer on center fuselage frame. 2. Cleco'd skins and parts to center fuselage frame. Used gear bolts to align holes in belly skin. 3. Riveted belly skin per Rans rivet schedule. Found that CCPQ-44's worked better along the gear block angles instead of CCPQ-43's. 4. Removed gear bolts and cleco's from holes to be riveted later during joining with the the other fuselage sections.
