I am excited to finally be able to begin the assembly of the fuselage. It seems like I've been working on this part all year. Oh right...I have been.
To start I fitted the F-719 stiffeners to the firewall. Which turns out its very interesting setup to rivet solo. Hard to hold it all tight, at the correct angle and use the pneumatic squeezer.
The rest of the evening was spent assembling and clecoing the fuselage together. Fortunately it went together much more smoothly this round then previous attempts. I'm reasonably pleased with the fit. I think I want to readjust the fit on the pilot side where the side skin meets the F-623 corner ribs.
