Brief Description: Fuselage Forward Sub Structure #5 (finished)
Mary wanted to go out and work on the airplane after lunch so who am I to argue!
I started putting the baggage compartment shelf into the forward fuse and noticed I had match drilled and dimpled the left side of the shelf for nutplates and it doesnt' need them. It screws to the angle which has the nutplates - DUH! No biggy. I flattened out the dimples and installed for now. I'll order a new piece next time I put in an order with Van's. The two extra holes next to each screw hole doesn't hurt in this case, but I know it's there and it'll be cheap and easy to fix.
I then installed all of the nutplates that anchor the baggage shelf and cleco'd it togther. That it's for the forward fuseleage section for now, the plans have you move on to the center section.

This thing is starting to look like something and it's getting heavy to move around!
