As I mentioned the other day, I was not happy with the way the symmetry of the forward fuselage skin was shaping up -- not because it would be seen from the outside, but because of the edge distance for the attach rivets in the upper longerons. It would just be too close for comfort.

I reordered and received a new flange strip for the instrument panel, and I've also ordered a new baggage door support strip. Today, I installed the new instrument panel flange, and marked the centerline of the flange in preparation for re-drilling it. Next time, the skin will be pulled down and duct-taped to the fuselage sides to ensure it doesn't shift one iota.
