Fuselage Bottom Attachment

I spent some time this morning cleaning up some glue drips.  Then I drilled the hole for the attachment of the front gear spring to F1.  It's best to drill this hole when F1 is not in the fuselage if you can do it.  Actually all of the bulkheads' holes should be drilled before they are attached to the fuselage so the holes can be made with a drill press.  Lesson learned I guess.  After I drilled the hole I started to prep the fuselage bottom for attachment to the fuselage.  I glued on the plywood bottom tonight and stapled it in place.  This took a little over two hours, a big batch of epoxy, two small batches of epoxy, and about 4 groups of staples.

Number of hours:  3.5
Total hours:  155.1
