Brief Description:  Center Section #3

Good progress this morning.

-Riveted the 4 nutplates onto the forward center section assembly.

-Riveted the 2 nutplates onto the Left forward bulkhead.

-Riveted the 2 forward left and right bulkheads to the forward center section per the plans. I used then bucking bar laying on the table method which yields very good results, very consistent.

-Cleco'd the aft center section bulkheads to the aft center section assembly and match drilled. Also used the reamer to match drill the 1/4" bolt holes per the plans (the plans say drill 1/4" vs ream).

-Cleco'd the left and right seat supports to the aft center section assembly and match drilled.

-Machine countersunk the forwad side hole on the aft center section assembly for the rivet that goes under the vertical bars.

-Drilled out all of the nutplates holes to #40 and machine countersunk the same.
