Fuselage - Top
This was a good day. I installed both AFT top skins. The fuselage is starting to look like an airplane.
 | The top J-stringers were previously fabbed, but apparently, not fully deburred. |
 | Attaching the AFT top skin. |
 | It took a bit of effort, but the F-775 rear top skin is on. We need to attach F-707B here. |
 | The plans were pretty clear on DWG 21. Do not rivet until assy with F-787. If I had paid attention, I would not be drilling out the top two rivets on the F-707 bulkhead. |
 | Fabbed F-707B (i.e., cut off a piece of .063 angle). |
 | Drilled F-707B to the F-707 bulkhead. |
 | F-787 in place. |
 | Cleco on just a few holes in F-7112 FWD top skin so I could mark where F-707b needs to be drilled to F-787. |
 | Both top skins cleco'd on, and drilled. |
 | Oops, forgot to drill the J-stringers, now we're done. |
 | Emmie's happy to be done. It's hotter than, well, let's just say it's pretty hot out here, today. |
