I spend 4 hours during friday and saturday, making minor adjustment and getting closer to riveting the fuselage together.
\nAfter fitting the side skins, I wasn’t quite happy with the lower center fuselage skin to conical bend joint. As you can see, it theres a small gap.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The gap might disappear once it get riveted, but im not taking any chances, so I removed the sideskin again, and bended the edge a little.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Much better!! Did the same to the other side..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I also worked on the butt joinst just forward of the conical bends. It took a lot of trial fits before I was satisfied. It’s still not perfect, but with a bit of proseal, it should be ok.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Emily helped me a bit friday, mostly by pointing out stuff. I’m glad she’s not my tech\u00a0inspector!! \ud83d\ude09
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday I started out by riveting the\u00a0F-684 Gussets to the firewall.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I couldn’t reach the 2 lower rivets, I will bring home the hand squeezer from work on\u00a0monday. I think it will reach.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Also riveted the\u00a0\u00a0F-7101 Gear Attach Webs to the F-902 Bulkheads.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The shims are in place.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally I clecoed the forward fuselage together. Almost ready to start riveting..
