Control column / step ribs / corner skins

Got some help today from my wonderful oldest two children.   We started by added nutplates to the seat floor flange.  My children then carefully placed and bolted the control column as per plans.  Step ribs were then riveted in place. and bushings placed in the fuselage as per plans.  Care taken into getting the right bushing in the right hole.  The corner skins were then prepared and riveted to the fuselage.  I finished the day by preparing the bottom stiffeners and doublers. Great work happens with many hands.

Time: 2.25 hrs.
