Brief Description:  Lower Nose Skin

Thanks to the judicious use of ratcheting straps, I'm manged to bend the 0.032" skin around the lower nose of the the fuselage. Now it's starting to look a bit like a plane, if I squint and tip my head.

Jenny was roped into helping me rotate the fuselage. From other people's logs, it looks like other have skinned the nose with the fuselage right-side up, but I had enough difficulty doing the job this way, I can't imagine doing so.

I'm also installing a doubler on the bottom skin at F4. The plans have the two main bottom skins meeting at an angle there, and I want just a touch more stiffness on the skin, since this is going to be the front edge of my seat and control stick anchor point when all is said and done.
