Lots more riveting of the fuse - 8 hours

 Spent the day riveting on the fuse. I started in by bucking the rivets on the arm rests. 


Next I started fitting the F-902 bulkhead/F-796 attach angles. Little bit of futzing with that but once I was happy with the fit. I began riveting. Then I decided to move on to the longeron riveting. I had marked out the section that needs riveting. Certain portions are not riveted as they are left open for the final fitting of the turtle deck and forward top skin. I started riveting up the F-705 bulkhead. 

 

Next step, I started riveting the aft baggage ribs.


 Continuing aft, I set the few rivets on the longeron aft of the baggage section.
