Brief Description:  Bend Left Side Skin; Cleco to Fuselage

The next thing that I did today was remove the left side skin. I drilled out 3 rivets on the left side that should not have been set earlier and that will be used to help fasten the side skin when it gets riveted to the fuselage. I then made the bend on the left skin using the same method that I used on the right skin. This one didn't turn out quite as well though. The bend isn't as smooth and conical as the bend on the right side. The bend on the left side is more 'stepped' than rounded. I may try to smooth this out later but for now I decided not to make matters worse and ended up clecoing the left skin back onto the fuselage.
