Fuse Dec 4 2024

Completed the remaining rivets on the forward side of the right fwd fuse skin to be able to start work on the landing gear mounts. Knocked out the right side match drilling for the landing gear mount. was able to bolt on the left landing gear mount while the right one was drying from some touch up paint from when I was trying to fit check the hold in the bottom of the fuse for the gear mount to fit through. Was also able to mount the right gear mount and realized in the process that the bolts that come in through the sidewall i have the washer stackup incorrect. Will have to go back fix those ones. To bolt on the bottom interior bolts, had to come up with something to hold the nuts to put them on because the space is too small to fit a hand. Combination of a long bucking bar, some vice grips, and a socket worked to get the nut on. Also mounted the copilot seat pan as well to see what the assembly would look like.
