Start forward lower fuselage

 Today was a days of oops. I have learned that you have to read and re-read the instructions and even then sometime I do something in the wrong order. On page 22-02 the instructions can be very confusing as the instructions and pictures show many things. The thing I did wrong today was attached the nutplates to the fwd fuse skin to soon. The rivets were easily removed, but it sure wasn't nice to waste time on a step too early.  Lesson: maybe read another time.

Given that some progress was made. The nutplaes were attached to the tunnel ribs and the engine mounts were placed.

Time: 2.25 hrs.
