Fuselage work continues...

At this point, I am at 245 hours of build time and just finished attaching the seat assembly ribs to the center section bulkhead.

This section of assembly is more detailed and varied from the wings portion. There are many more parts, fasteners and hardware pieces that have to be identified and used.

I did a thorough inventory of all parts short of counting the quantity of different rivets and then listed the location of each bag of hardware and miscellaneous parts as I secreted them throughout the house. The spare bath tub is an excellent repository for big pieces and buckets of little parts. Under the bed has space for large panels and long pieces.

There are two other RV12 bloggers (Marty's RV 12 and Jerry Greenburg's RV12) who have created blogs that are terrific for their detail and content. They are far ahead of me and I often read over what they have done in the section I am working on. In fact, if I would have read Marty's blog yesterday before I cut the hinge sections for the seat backs, I wouldn't have messed it up and might now have to buy more hinge material.
