Working on the F-704 center fuselage bulkhead assembly

No updates for the last three weeks, I was at Oshkosh for the entire week of the show. Lots of fun and very motivational, as always. I came back and started working on the F-704 center fuselage bulkhead assembly. There are a lot of small things that must be done to these bulkheads for them to be ready for installation. First step was drilling holes for the electrical conduits; not a hard task, but I double-checked the measurements before starting in with the Unibit. Came out fine!

The next step was to fit the left and right center section side angles to the bulkheads for match-drilling. Here they’re clecoed in place, but the close-tolerance bolts that will eventually hold the wing spars, muts be inserted so that the corresponding holes in the side angles are closely aligned.
