Forward Fuselage - Side skins

19AUG2023
     
I worked on clecoing the forward side skins on today.  

There was some interference with the cabin sides and the skins.  The cabin side is straight, but the skin has a curve to it.  The corner of the cabin side was interfering with skin and not allowing me to bend the skin around as needed.  I asked Tom to look at it before I started trimming things.  He said the cabin side should actually be bent to follow the curve of the skin.  So we slightly bent the bottom corner in and that help things line up a lot better.

After that I drilled the longerons to the bottom of the fuselage.




Bottom of cabin side bent in slightly to match skin curve
