Fuselage April 2006 Updates April 30, 2006 Baggage Area and Finish up - 5 hrs Started out the day taking the pool filter apart and hoseing the filter down. Put it all back together and loaded up with DE powder. Good to go for a few more months. Now its time to get to building. First I fluted the baggage bulkheads and clecoed into place. Match drilled with the 770 skins and then took apart to edge prep. Had to do some tweaking of the cuts to stop some rubbing of parts. Next I took the bottom forward skin off and deburred and marked the floor stiffeners. Last I match drilled the tank bracket. Again I don't remember the number. I am starting to notice that if I start drinking beer to early I start listening to the music too much and looking at stuff on the plane...... O well I am having fun though.
