I started by laying out the bottom of the fuselage on the jig table. All went well except I found that Station C "pinched in" about 1/8th inch on either side when a line was drawn between Station B and D. Apparently, this should be a straight line. I triple-checked my measurements and found them to be correct. I polled the BH group about this and the answer I got was that it should be a straight line. It makes sense that way anyway. I'm trying to be too exact in my measurements it seems. I guess officially, this is the first day of construction although I never got the longeron bent the whole way. I'm sure when it's all said and done that I'll look back on this first log entry and just laugh!
