This morning I started turning the fuselage upside down. After doing so I inserted the snap bushings into the various holes in the various bulkheads. I then clecoed the corner skins onto the bottom of the fuselage.
After clecoing the corner skins in place I riveted them together and riveted them to the appropriate bulkhead.
I began to prep the fuselage bottom skin for installation. I placed it on a work bench and dimpled the nutplate attachment holes at each of the access openings. I also deburred the edges of the skin and the edges of the access openings.
I used the Cleaveland edge tool to break the long side edges of the bottom skin.
After deburring and breaking the edges I riveted the nutplates in place and began to cleco the bottom skin to the fuselage.
