Brief Description: Rejoin Center Section to Aft Section
With Philip's help we were able to heft the center section back into place on the longerons and saw horses and join it up with the aft fuselage. It feels good putting these large sections back together for the final time. I couldn't fit a squeezer in close enough to rivet the aft flanges of the outer seat ribs to F705 bulkhead so I decided to use BSPQ-4 pop rivets in these 2 holes. I did have enough room though for the pneumatic squeezer to set the upper 2 rivets on the aft flanges of each of the baggage ribs that join to the F706 bulkhead. I will wait for some help to shoot/buck the lower most rivets on each rib rather than use pop rivets here.
