Brief Description: Began center section construction
I began construction of the center section by drilling out the two holes for the rudder cables in the forward portion of the center section. There are 4 uprights which are to be riveted to the center section. I had to debur, scuff and prime all of them. Then I clecoed the forward two uprights to the forward center section. It is a precise fit, so you are supposed to place the close tolerance wing bolts into the holes to line up the uprights. As you can see from the photos, I could only put the bolts just a little way into the holes, but I guess that is far enough to locate the upright pieces properly. I will rivet them tomorrow.

Close tolerance bolts will barely fit part way into the holes
