Brief Description:  Mid Fuselage - Rivet the bottom skin 1

After riveting the ribs to the bulkheads, (with the exception of the one I need Cherry max rivets for) I put the mid fuselage frame on the floor and clecoed on the bottom skin. I lifted it up on a 4X4 resting on the forward wing bulkhead and was able to rivet a little over half the rivets by myself.

I used the sit-on-floor configuration.

I also used the opposing hands configuration.

And I used the reach-over-top configuration.

They all worked pretty well. But I could not do the foward mid section.
