More fitting the F-7112 Aft top skin - 4 hours

 The fit of the F-7112 top skin is really tight. To help with this I de-vinyled top skin.


Next, I need to adjust the J-stiffeners cause they are just a tad long and they do interfere with the bulkhead. They need to be trimmed about 1/8" give or take.


 

I had the F-707B angle fabricated some time ago so I cleco'd that on and installed the F-787 stiffener web. 


I still need to play with the fluting on the F-706 bulkhead to get the fit right. I'm surprised by the amount of flutes needed on these, its more than I thought I would need. But the fit is looking really good.
