Fuselage center section #34 - bottom skin prep

Flipped the center assembly today and got started on the skin and other part prep....


Got started by cutting all the bottom corner skins apart and deburring the flashing.

7 different parts for these bottom corner skins.

Flipped the whole assembly.  Shored up the middle and let the vertical parts hang between the tables.

Test fitting all the bottom corner skins.

This skin gets some dimples and nutplates.

Spent some time looking for a part that does not get used on the ULS version.  I did not look at the KAI's that tell you to skip it.


Cutting some more parts apart that get attached to the bottom skin.

These gussets get cut apart.  Label them before cutting to ensure they are correct.


I did all these and deburred them.  Will have a big batch to prime.
