Fuselage

A short session today, but a very big moment. After doing a final inspection, I found two more rivets that weren't installed, so Daniel helped me hammer them home. Then, after a bit of cleanup and shuffling sawhorses around, we flipped this thing over! This is a milestone in the project. My daughter-in-law, Andria, helped out by holding my camera and shooting a short 26-second video. I have it posted to YouTube here. If I can figure out how to imbed it into this webpage, I'll do it.

Here it is! Yippee! Just for fun, I inserted the step to see how it looks. I'll get around to installing those soon enough.

Here are a few more shots from different angles.

I laid the floor pieces in place, too, just for fun, to see how everything looks.

Wow, hard to believe the bottom of the airplane is finished. I'm anxious now to move on and get the rest of the fuse done as well.
