Fuselage

Spent some more time on the fuselage today. I drilled and riveted the F-729A bellcrank rib and F-729B angle together. The instructions made special comment about being sure to drill the 1/4" hole for the bellcrank pivot bolt, so I guess it's easy to miss that. Then I drilled the F-728A Bellcrank Channel to the F-728B angle, but the instructions said not to rivet them together yet. Once again they reminded reminded me to drill the 1/4" hole for the bellcrank pivot bolt.
