Days 34-35
Center Fuselage Side Skins
The past two days we have worked to get the center fuselage side skins installed. We are running low on cleco's with so many assemblies going on at once, so we had to work in sections, all while keeping everything aligned. We would work from the main spar outwards, starting with the front sections. We would cleco and rivet the longeron channels and the bottom connections, then do the support ribs. The overall process is the same as all other skins, Cleco, Clear drill, de-burr, rivet, repeat.
Once the side skins were on, we then installed the sound proofing foam and the front interior skins.
