Brief Description:	Begin Turtle Deck
Started on the turtle deck. - Laid out, drilled, deburred and installed the 6 (3 on each side) brackets onto the splice channel. - Put the right skin on top of the channel, aligned with the edge of the channel per the plans, and clamped in several places down the spine. - Drilled about 15 to 20 pilot holes down the length of the skin/channel, making sure to always align the skin with the edge of the channel flange before drilling. If your channel had a bow in it, that now comes out as you align the skin with the channel flange. - Put the left skin on top of the right, and cleco'd thru both skins and into the pilot holes. - Then went back and drilled the remainder of the pilot holes thru all 3 pieces. - Took everything apart and deburred. - Put it all back together and riveted in place. - Laid the entire assembly on top of the tailcone box, but without a second set of hands I did not want to try to put it in place.
