Progress!

Today was a great day. We finished bending the longerons (which are neither as big of a deal as we thought they would be nor as easy as many people said they were). Of course, we also had to do some cutting on the longerons (notches, etc) so that they would fit. After that we drilled the armrests* to the longerons and then installed the longerons in the fuselage. We're poised to make some rapid progress when we next return to the shop and attach the centre fuselage to the aft.

* Actually, after looking at the plans they're way too high to be armrests, it's more accurate to call them the upper aft canopy deck.
