Started fitting the F-711D angle - 2.5 hours

 Now that I have the fuselage relatively level I'm ready to get started on the process to fit the F-714 Aft Deck. One item that I need to finish is to fit/drill the F-711D angle to the F-711C Horizontal Stabilizer attach bars. The plans specifically tell you not to install this piece until the skins are riveted. 

Now I haven't installed the skin rivet that is located on the bulkhead tabs in this area...but I want to make sure that I have as much edge distance possible. Lots of the day was spent fitting the angle and making absolutely sure I had all edge distances. 

I drew lines on the longerons to show the 7/16" dimension as noted on Detail C/Drawing #18

Next I fitted the F-711D angle and then I could begin edge distance checks. Everything is looking good.
