Center fuselage: ribs and floor skin
TLDR
- Installed ribs to main/rear spars
- Rivnuts on various channels
- Started on bottom front floor skin
Details
Ribs on spars
Took a while to complete, mainly due to access. The space between ribs were pretty small so I moved slowly using a hand riveter.Œ
Rear spar attached, another angle
Rivnuts
Before bottom floor skin, the instruction wants me to install a bunch of rivnuts on channels, skins, etc. So I did that.
It’s a little difficult to visualize what they are for. I assume they are for the center console area.
Bottom floor
Then I prepared the bottom skin and its strengthening channels.

I also filled the rivets using superfil while I still have easy access.
