The cabin frame is installed!
I needed the 3/32 clecos for the cabin frame, so I started upsizing the holes in the l-angles on the forward skins. I still need to upsize one more size, but I'm out of clecos.
The frame needed a couple millimeters trimmed off on the upper right and lower left side in order to get the predrilled holes to line up. I drilled the top section first and then marked the center line on the cabin side for the lower/vertical bar. I clecoed and clamped the rivet spacer to the cabin side and frame and used that as a template for the lower holes.
I also drilled and clecoed in the cabin frame gussets.
