Brief Description:  Mid Fuselage - Cleco together cargo ribs

After deburring, trimming and drilling the hole for the step I clecoed together the cargo ribs with the bulkhead and seat ribs. Then I took the assembly off the bench and put it on the floor up-side-down so I could put on the bottom skin.

The bottom skin was difficult to stretch to reach all the holes. I had to use an awl to align holes before inserting a cleco.

With wife, Jody's, help I put the mid-fuselage back on the bench and started adding the outboard ribs. First I fluted the outboard seat ribs to be curved like the rivet hole line.
