Title: Fixing spar issue
Started into fixing the fuselage spar gap issue. The biggest concern was removing the landing gear mount so that I could drill out the rivets. Finally sucked it up today and started into it. Took almost two hours but finally got the gear mount out on the left side. Damaged some bolts in the process so will need to order some new ones. But it's out. Then drilled out all the rivets in both sides of the spars. Used my all thread to spread the spars apart and inserted the correct number of spacers. Then started the re-riveting. The spacers are tight, but I think I did improve it enough that the wings should slide in reasonably well. Will finish up the left side once I get some additional parts from Spruce. Then need to tackle the right side.
