Match the front fuse and rear tailcone
For the record...At 388 hours QB...I also reached a major milestone, I matched the front fuselage to the tailcone. Fairly simple task. The trick was to get the front and back aligned at the same heights as close as possible. Then it was simple a case of moving the front (that is on a castor trolley) then slide into the back. A little wiggle and all the holes lined up. 30 minute job for 2 people
Ready to start the operation
Close-up of the join
Backing the front up, making sure the longerons slide on top of each other, and the skins nest and sandwich correctly.
It is joined and the holes line up:
Proof it is together…
