Jan 01, 2018 2 Started fitting floors Category: Fuselage
Riveted one more section of ribs together, then started working on the floors, deburring and adding nutplates and priming small parts.

I test fit one side of the floor to the #1 rib and will rivet it in place tomorrow. Was a little surprised that instructions had us dimpling the nutplate holes on the forward ends of those ribs but there are no nutplates installed and the floor isn't screw down; it's riveted down.

On the 7A, I put nutplates in these sorts of locations to be able to remove all the floors, but , alas, with LSA, it's not possible to deviate from the plans.

Couldn't work more than a couple of hours; my toes got too cold.
