More fuselage work

This weekend we continued to work on the main fuselage. We first installed the arm rests in the cockpit area. This was just straightforward fluting to make the curved piece straight. Next we rolled the edges of the side skins and began match drilling the side skins. We also installed a few little pieces but they're hard to explain in text.

Attaching the Centre Fusalage

We made even more exciting progress this past weekend. We connected the centre fuselage to the aft and clecoed in the main front skins. We also did a bunch of other work like cutting holes for the steps, etc. It was a weekend of great progress. The fuselage is sure getting big.
