Spent last week working on the damage to the fuselage. I made new skins and three bulheads thatwere damaged. Bob and I riveted the side skins and two bulkheads today. Will finish up the last bulkhead tommorow , then on to the fin and stabilator.

Made a little progress this week, played with the Doc for a couple of days and he put me behind schedule, but the news was good. I manage to cutout and dimple the fin this week. I primed it today and will try and get it riveted together over the weekend. Then on to the horizontal stab.

This where experience triumphs over beauty. I would be hard pressed to get even 1/4 of this done !

Keep some notes on riveting sequence. We will need them for the next project.

Billy,
You are a regular production factory. I guess we need to drop more trucks on you!!!

Finished riveting the horizontal and started fitting the tip. Will get that done tomorrow. Need to connect the trim motor and fine tune the control surfaces. Prime and paint next.....6 weeks until Elizabeth City.
