Fuselage center section #59 - Fuse side skin riveting!

Tonight I got started riveting the side skins on the fuselage.

Finished up the sub structure by riveting the armrest to the fuse.

And riveted this little triangular gusset.  I decided to turn the flange of this gusset out toward the skin.

Cleco'ed the side skin to the fuselage skeleton.

Riveted these nutplates on the skin with the blind rivets.

Another 1000 rivets pulled!

Riveted the left skin on per the KAI's.  Started with the Cherry rivets.  Lots of holes don't get rivets yet.  pay attention!  Had a few rivets loose their mandrel on the thick longerons.  Replaced them and all is well.
