Fuselage March 2006 Updates March 19, 2006 More Drilling - 3 hrs More drilling on the skins. First I did the top center section to aft bottom skins. Next was the left and right side of the 706 bulkhead. Next moved on to the 705 bulkhead and then the 704. Last I did the sideskins to the 715 seat ribs. Seems like I have 100 lbs of clecos in this thing. I can't believe it is taking so long for all of this drilling. I also spent some time reading over the plans to make sure I have not missed anything. I am not tracking the study time on the plans just building time. I can't believe I have to take all of this apart and debur and dimple. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft.
