Inventory completed and section 25 "forward mid fuselage bulkheads" started

Image
I completed the inventory process yesterday and found only 3 small errors. One nut missing, a small bag of rivets and I got two right sides of a pair of engine mount brackets. That's impressive with so many parts. Engine mount and under carriage. Section 25 I've started on the first fuselage section. As usual it starts with a lot of deburring and preparation of parts. A few pictures follows below. This is what section 25 consist of. Picking required parts for section 25. I'm glad I made a "storage system" during inventory, and noted the location on the packing lists (21 pages). Countersinking and nutplate riveting. This is one of the two main bulkheads where the wings is mounted to. The second is behind.

Fuselage and finish kit arrived

Today the fuselage and finish kit arrived. The journey started 26. July and finally arrived today 13th September. So shipping time has to be taken into account when planning ahead. I observed only a few minor damages to the crates, but nothing that seems to have damaged the parts inside. The finish kit crate. The fuselage crate. Inside the fuselage crate
