Final Assembly Of The Fuselage Has Begun

We finally started finally assembly on the front section of the of the fuselage.  We completed the pre-assembly on Saturday, and got a little riveting time in on Monday.  There is still quite a bit of work left to go, but this work usually more enjoyable when done in short stretches.

Finished Pre-Assembly on March 8

First bit of riveting completed on March 10

Still Chipping Away

So we did end up taking quite a few weeks off again over the Christmas period.  We did manage to get a few work sessions in in January, and had a pretty good run again today.  We are currently in the final stages of preparing the front of the fuselage for final assemble.  We riveted a few small pieces in place today, drilled a few holes, torqued a few nuts, etc... We should be in for a pretty intense riveting and assembly session our next time out.

This is one of the spots we spent quite a bit of time on today
