Fuselage center section #51 - Longeron and side skin fitting

 Short night tonight but got started by inserting the longerons into the fuse assembly.

The longerons fit the sub structure like a glove.

Then the KAI's have you create a left and a right side skin by removing the excess material from the main wing spar opening.  One side gets the front section removed and the other side gets the other side removed.  Be careful not to cut them both on one side or the other of the opening.

Marked the cuts and triple checked that I had everything layed out correctly.

Then used the Dremel to surgically remove the excess material.  Used a file to clean up the openings.

Then I hung the skins on the sub structure to check the fit.  Everything is looking good!
