Fuselage March 2006 Updates March 13, 2006 Joining the Center and Aft Fuse - 2 hrs Well since these 2 pieces are ready to go I clamped the longerons to the side skins in several areas. Next I removed the clecos along the bottom skin and F706 bulkhead. I slid the 2 sections together and tried to work the aft bottom skin and F706 bulkhead in between the center section bottom skin and the baggage bulkhead. Needless to say this was easier said than done. I was finally able to get it started by using a 3/32 punch into the corner hole. Then I kept working along from each side. This took quite a while but I finally got the bottom edge of the F706 bulkhead complete. Next I will try the side skins.
